PancreasFest is an annual meeting of pancreas physicians and translational researchers who meet together on the last week of July to find new ways of working together to improve patient care.
PancreasFest is an umbrella meeting that supports multiple smaller meetings that have very focused goals. These include education programs, discussion sessions for new ideas, learning from other disciplines, investigators meetings, and efforts to help young investigators get started exporing their own ideas. PancreasFest is a meeting with a pragmatic purpose - multicenter research.
PancreasFest 2010 focused on 4 main meetings:
-
The 6th International Symposium on Inhertied Diseases of the Pancreas - sponsored by Solvay Pharmaceuticals (now Abbott)
-
Recurrent Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis: Defining the Disease and Targeting Treatment - an NIDDK-supported conference
-
Advancing the War on Pancreatic Cancer - A UPMC Pancreas Center supported program
-
Annual Meeting of the Collaborative Alliance for Pancreatic Education and Research (CAPER).
