ECTS-GEMSTONE Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators

ECTS and GEMSTONE Cost-Action are pleased to offer the community with an innovative digital event, the ECTS-GEMSTONE Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators.

It will be an engaging event with opportunities to network, interact with other participants and speakers.  There will be interactive workshops, time for students to present their research projects and receive feedback, mentoring sessions.

The course starts with an “introductory session” where key topics relevant to skeletal research are covered, followed by a varied programme that incorporates clinical and basic topics with a mix of speakers with clinical or basic science backgrounds.

The program promises to be very interesting with both clinical and basic science presentations from several research areas. Prof. Natalie Sims (St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia) will start the session by presenting data on the role of osteocytic autophagy in bone mineralisation. Prof. Pieter Evenepoel (Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium) will talk about the assessment of bone fragility markers in chronic kidney disease. Dr. Elvire Gouze (INSERM, Nice, France) will present data on a gene therapy approach for type II collagenopathies. Prof. Michael Whyte (Shriners hospitals for children, St. Louis, USA) will conclude the webinar event by talking about therapeutic strategies to treat chronic hypophosphatemia.

ECTS PhD Training Course 2020

The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus and the resulting nationwide security measures have required the cancellation or postponement of several events to take place between March and June 2020.

The ECTS Board of Directors has considered different options carefully, and we believe it is important to continue with our educational programme.  We have therefore decided to :

  • Transition the PhD Training Course into an innovative Digital Masterclass for PhD Students, Trainees and Young Investigators, 23-25 June 2020.
  • Postpone the PhD Training Course in Edinburgh to August 2021, same venue.
