At this symposium, you will come across the spectrum of thyroid autoimmunity and obtain up-to-date knowledge from a basic science, laboratory, and clinical perspective. You will gain expert knowledge on thyroid autoimmunity in sessions dedicated to:

• Hypothyroidism
• Hyperthyroidism
• Omics and the thyroid
• Thyroid autoantibodies

The symposium will support presentations of the most recent knowledge and research by national and international experts in the field and will facilitate plenum discussions on clinical and methodological aspects of thyroid autoimmunity.

The symposium also aims to strengthen network and collaboration through scientific networking sessions on both days and an interdisciplinary research focus among participants.
