In parallel, „LabMed Forum“ – organized by Prof. Dr. med. Georg Hoffmann (Trillium GmbH medical specialist publisher) and the German Heart Centre Munich – took place, under the patronage of the VDGH (Association of Diagnostic Industry) and DGKL (German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine). The event focussed on verification procedures in infectiology, laboratory diagnostics in diabetology and sports medicine as well as biomarkers in cardiology. Every exhibition day was dedicated to a specific topic. 15th of November was “Industry Day”, initiated for young scientists to meet industry. Prof. Dr. Matthias Grimmler (Head of R&D at DiaSys) informed about the challenges and aims of a researching diagnostic manufacturer and gave a short overview on the business areas and the everyday work in research at DiaSys. In a discussion round the participants took the opportunity to ask questions and to gain deeper insights.

Overall DiaSys’ participation at MEDICA and LabMed Forum was a great success and a perfect platform to present DiaSys’ competencies and products to a broad audience.
