Working Group 1 meeting

This WG uses low-penetrance germline genetic variants for CRC, microbiome characterization, epigenetics, metabolomics and environmental factors to model disease risk and apply it to better select individuals eligible to be screened for CRC or advanced adenomas.

The general focus of this meeting will be the establishment/optimization of CRC screening programmes all over Europe. We are planning for an instructive workshop on CRC screening for the first day and focus on our own matters for the second day. Potential collaborative projects regarding WG1 in this specific topic will be discussed and emphasis will be made on realistic objectives that can be achieved on the near future by participants as a collaborative effort.

Participants will have to earn their participation on merits, expressing their interest for attending according to the alignment of this meeting with their current research. To do so, you need to send your expression of interest including an abstract of a potential research presentation related to WG1. Your email should be directed to the following committee members (their emails are on our website):
