MICROB-PREDICT 6th General Assembly Meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia

From March 20 to 22, 2024, the 6th General Assembly (GA) Meeting of the European project “MICROB-PREDICT. Microbiome-based biomarkers to predict decompensation of liver cirrhosis and treatment response” will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The MICROB-PREDICT project, within the framework of the Horizon 2020 Programme, aims to develop personalized microbiome-based treatment strategies to prevent and treat decompensated cirrhosis and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and reduce mortality in patients who suffer from these diseases.

Dr. Itziar de Lecuona, associate professor of the Department of Medicine and director of the Bioethics and Law Observatory at the University of Barcelona, will participate in the meeting as leader of the Work Package (WP) “Ethics, health, and socio-economics”, presenting the progress and results of the team. This work package addresses the several ethical, legal and socioeconomic issues that arise during the development of the project.

Additionally, on Friday, March 22, at 10:05 a.m., Dr. de Lecuona will offer a masterclass on “Ethics perspective of using GPT for science”.
