Report

The 3rd edition of the Fusion Conference “Epithelial Mesenchymal Interactions in Lung Development and Fibrosis” was held in Malta between Oct 4-7, 2024. This meeting gathered close to 90 expert researchers including many senior and junior investigators, and trainees. During this conference, we discussed recent findings in cellular heterogeneity and tissue dynamics in the lung, debated about the implication of developmental pathways in lung injury and repair, recently proposed mechanisms of progressive lung fibrosis and mechanisms of repair in lung disease with a major focus on the role of disease-relevant/associated cell states. We also understood the effect of aging and environmental cues on the development of lung disease, reviewed strategies to promote regeneration and tissue repair in lung injury, and learnt about innovative models and technologies for the study of tissue fibrosis and repair. Thus, we reached our major goal which was to better understand lung development, repair, and disease; and to characterize epithelial-mesenchymal interactions that maintain lung homeostasis and orchestrate repair and regeneration to have a deeper insight in lung pathogenesis and find solutions for lung disease.

The conference venue provided a relaxing and conducive environment that highly contributed to promote an interactive and dynamic atmosphere for the discussion of novel discoveries that we hope it accelerates pulmonary research and contribute to the development of efficient treatments for lung disease, as a result of fruitful collaboration established at this meeting. The feedback received from the participants was very positive highlighting the inspiring talks and conversations with the speakers. There was enough time for discussion and active interaction, also with the youngest researchers presenting posters that could receive feedback from the experts. Overall, the conference was very productive, and we hope to have the possibility to organize a 4th edition. The Fusion team played an essential role and provided invaluable administrative and logistical support and facilitated every step of the process. The team maintained avery professional and friendly communication throughout the process.

Synopsis

We have exceeded our contracted room block at the conference hotel (Hilton Malta). Due to this, there may be some surcharges to our advertised prices relating to this conference. Please contact Felicity Harrap for further information. 

Once you have registered and paid your deposit for this conference, your place is not confirmed until approved by the conference chairs. Please allow 14 working days for approval which is sent in the form of an email from Fusion Conferences. Within this 14 working day period and thereafter, our usual Terms and Conditions will apply unless your registration is declined. In this case, we will issue a full refund. If you have any questions, please contact Jack.

Lung development is governed by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. These pathways are recapitulated during injury and repair. This conference will focus on understanding key processes underlying lung development, injury and repair in the context of age, environment and species, with the hope of better understanding disease development and to discover novel therapeutic approaches.
 

We will highlight critical issues on lung epithelial biology such as stem cells and regenerative medicine, while expanding sessions to encompass themes such as single cell analytical approaches, cell-cell communication, dissect the biological distinctions mesenchymal proliferation as a repair mechanism and fibrosis; present the impact of new tools in single cell analysis on understanding lung development, repair, and disease; and characterize epithelial-mesenchymal interrelationships that maintain lung homeostasis and orchestrate repair and regeneration. The entire program has been designed to achieve a better understanding of the key clinical research issues and how they relate to basic mechanistic investigation.

Student Offer

Take advantage of this fantastic opportunity for students! Fully paying ‘single’ or ‘shared’ registrants can bring a student for only €990. Unfortunately, Postdocs are not eligible for this offer. Both registration packages include; accommodation for the 04, 05, 06 October 2024 (on a shared basis for students) and a food and beverage package for the conference period. Once registered, please contact Jack Peters to obtain a special registration link for your student.

Target Audience 

  • Lung developmental biologists
  • Stem cell researchers
  • Fibrosis researchers
  • Pulmonary fibrosis researchers

Educational Need

It is known that lung developmental pathways are reactivated in pulmonary fibrosis, yet few if any meetings bring lung developmental biologists and researchers studying lung fibrosis together. This meeting will provide a unique opportunity to bring these two fields together.

Venue

Hilton Malta

We are excited to be visiting this beautiful Mediterranean destination in autumn 2024 – the Hilton Malta in St Julian’s, Malta. The oceanfront resort overlooks the stunning Portomaso Marina in St. Julian’s.

This beautiful hotel is located only 15 minutes from the ancient capital city of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso’s Cave – The Maltese Islands are positively mythic. As the countryside is dotted with medieval towers, wayside chapels and the oldest known human structures in the world, the Islands have rightly been described as an open-air museum.

This is not an all-inclusive property, but we have arranged a full food and beverage package for delegates during the conference period which is included within the registration fee. Breakfast will be at leisure each morning, but participants will dine together for conference lunches and dinners. For anyone staying any extra nights, the rate will be bed and breakfast only so delegates can choose whether to dine at the hotel or explore and eat elsewhere. 

Hotel facilities include;
•    Complimentary Wi-Fi in guest rooms and throughout hotel and conference areas
•    4 Seasonal Outdoor Pools
•    Spa with Indoor Swimming Pool
•    Fitness Center and Tennis Court
•    3 Restaurants
•    2 Bars

Transportation

The hotel is approximately 20 minutes from Malta International Airport, the official airport of the Maltese Islands.

Taxis

Taxis are available outside the airport, however we would strongly recommend you use one of the transport app providers below.

There are 3 options for booking transport with an app- Uber, Bolt and eCabs. They all operate in and around Malta, and the fares are generally cheaper than a taxi. The cost of transfers between Malta International Airport and the city of St Julians generally ranges from €15 to €20.

Oral Presenters

Oral Presenters

We have several oral opportunities available at this meeting. To be considered for a talk, please register for the conference and upload your abstract when prompted to do so. You will be able to monitor the status of your abstract through your Fusion account and you will also receive an email if you are successful or unsuccessful.

Please use the abstract template provided (see below) and ensure your abstract is no longer than one page in length.

If you are accepted for a talk, we recommend you check our website regularly as the conference approaches. Regular programme updates will be released under the ‘Programme’ tab on the conference website.

Your Presentation

On the day of your presentation please make yourself known to our AV technician who will be present in the conference room. We advise running through your presentation at least 30minutes prior to your session commencing to ensure your slides and any videos or animations appear as expected. We prefer our speakers to run their presentation from the master PC or Mac, however, if you prefer to use your own laptop then please notify us prior to the session. A HDMI or VGA cable is usually available on the podium.

Our AV technician will apply your microphone and provide a combined slide advancer and laser pointer.

We ask all speakers to adhere to their time slots and respect their fellow presenters. A visual traffic light aide will be available to warn presenters as their time decreases.

Please make sure your presentation adheres to the following guidelines.
