[Matthias.Maiwald@KKH.COM.SG Subject: Re: German-Singaporean Symposium on Pathogenic E. coli In-Reply-To:]

Hi Lavina,

We have been discussing this among us organisers; i.e. whether and in what
form to make this available. At this point, we are not sure. We think that
maybe we will make the speakers’ slides available on a website, if they all
agree.

Best regards, Matthias.

Pathogenic E. coli

> Dear Group,
>
> This is a brief, preliminary announcement that we are planning a joint
> German-Singaporean Symposium on Pathogenic E. coli for Monday, the 23rd
> April 2012. This is to be held here in Singapore and planned as a
> whole-day
> symposium.
>
> We have been putting this together with the German Embassy Singapore and
> involvement of several local institutions.
>
> The main aim is to provide a local South-East Asian audience with insight
> concerning the 2011 German EHEC outbreak. As most of you would be aware,
> this was a major public health concern involving nearly 4000 cases of
> illness and nearly 50 deaths. The theme of the symposium will be: “What
> can
> be learnt from the German EHEC outbreak in terms of investigating
> outbreaks
> and strengthening outbreak response capacities?”
>
> The preliminary list of speakers is:
>
> Prof. Reinhard Burger
> – President of the Robert Koch Institute, the German National Public
> Health
> Institute
>
> Prof. Ulrich Dobrindt
> – Representing the German National Consultant Laboratory for
> Haemolytic-Uraemic Syndrome
>
> Prof. Rolf Stahl
> – University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (his department was involved in
> clinical case management)
>
> Prof. Bernd Appel
> – Federal Institute of Risk Assessment (his department did the tracing of
> food sources)
>
> Prof. Joerg Hacker
> – President of the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina (expert in E.
> coli pathogenicity research)
>
> The details are still in the process of being finalised. This means there
> may be changes.
>
> Of course, it is unlikely that such a symposium would warrant a trip to
> Singapore for most AICA List members based in Australia or New Zealand,
> However some may by chance be travelling in the region at the time, and
> there are also a few AICA List recipients based in South-East Asia.
>
> If anyone is interested in the details of the symposium, please get in
> touch with me, and I can send further information and a flyer.
>
> Due to limited auditorium space, we will have to make participation
> available by prior registration only.
>
> Best regards, Matthias.
