Founded in 1963, the SSIEM society aims to to foster the study of inherited metabolic disorders and related topics. In order to do so, the Society organizes many events, such as the SSIEM Annual Symposium, where many international experts gather for four days of conferences and knowledge sharing.
SSIEM Program
The program is composed by meetings, networking events and conferences, such as:
- Seminars on Nutrition & Dietetics
- Forums on New Treatments
- Forums on Antenatal Manifestations
- Lectures held by international key-experts
- Awards Ceremonies (like the Garrod Award)
- ... and many others.
During each day, there will also be an exhibition. If you're planning on having a stand on this year's SSIEM Annual Symposium, contact our team of experts. They'll find you the best booth contractors in Lyon!
Abstract categories
In SSIEM you can submit an abstract related to your studies. It must include clear objectives, a case report, an exhaustive description of the used methods and a final result (along with a conclusion). The participants can only choose one category. The main categories are the following:
- Dietetics and nutrition
- New metabolic disease groups
- Sulphur aminoacid disorders
- Carbohydrate disorders
- Lysosomal disorders
- Neurotransmitter disorders
- Disorders of vitamins, cofactors and trace elements
- Disorders of fatty acid oxidation and ketone body metabolism
- Disorders of pyruvate metabolism and the Krebs cycle
- Mitochondrial disorders
- ... and many others
The Garrod Award
The Archibald Garrod Award is an annual award given by the SSIEM to the lead author of studies that provide a comprehensive, representative analysis of the clinical features, treatment and outcome of an inborn error of metabolism, published in the preceding year in the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, JIMD.
It represents an outstanding opportunity to learn about successful studies and get inspired as a medical professional. Besides, here you'll be able to meet other metabolic disorders experts and establish partnerships that can change the course of applied medicine.
