Autoinflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases: Pragmatic Approach & New Advances - 2019

This conference has already taken place.

The Center of Autoinflammatory Disease at Stony Brook University Renaissance Medical School is one of the few centers in the United States to provide specialized care for patients and to perform breakthrough research. This center consists of a multidisciplinary team with world-class experts in the field.

Autoinflammatory disease care has increasingly become an integral part of rheumatology practice, and a diagnosis and management of this group of diseases require special knowledge and skills. Genetic and molecular testing is often used. A high quality of care for these diseases involves multidisciplinary team.

The symposium will cover not only monogenic periodic fever syndromes, but also complex autoinflammatory diseases. Autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases are distinct and intertwined, and an update on some autoimmune diseases will be covered as well.

The topics will be lectured by well-known and highly experienced experts, as well as innovative researchers in both clinical care and research of these diseases.

Parking:  If you do not have a SB Parking Permit, please park in the hospital parking garage and your parking will be validated after the event (see Registration Table).
