Knee OA is a complex disease involving several pathways and therapies. This observation is the basis for the symposium program which highlights different aspects of the disease and research done throughout the country.
The scientific presentations will start with a lecture by Prof. Thomas P. Andriacchi from Stanford University. Prof. Thomas P. Andriacchi is a world leader in multidisciplinary study of knee OA. His lecture about a systems approach will therefore provide an excellent foundation to link the various aspects of the disease presented during this symposium.
The talks on pathomechanism and treatments will provide a broad coverage of competencies in Switzerland. During this first national symposium on knee OA it will be impossible to give the podium to all OA researchers in Switzerland. For this reason, the symposium includes a poster session and every participant is encouraged to present his work during the extended coffee break. Posters are invited to present either a specific study or more generally the field of activity of a research group. PhD students as well as senior researchers are welcome to bring a poster and share their research with other Swiss teams.
