Translational reserach in paediatric rheumatology

Objective

Paediatric rheumatic diseases are a group of chronic disorders characterized by high morbidity that collectively represent one of the leading causes of acquired disability in childhood. They include juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile dermatomyositis, juvenile scleroderma and systemic vasculitides. Translational Research in Paediatrics (TRiPR) is a coherent series of events which will aim to acquaint younger generations of European researchers and clinicians with the key issues underlying the development of new therapeutic strategies for paediatric rheumatic diseases, seeking above all to enhance their translational research skills in the field.

Running parallel to this overriding aim will be TRiPR's intent to enhance the European contribution to:
a) the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms in rheumatic disorders;
b) the discovery of new therapeutic approaches;
c) the definition of the best models, for rare conditions such as childhood rheumatic diseases, to test new potential effective drugs/agents.

Lastly, clinicians and researchers dealing with adult rheumatic diseases will be able to benefit from these conferences, thus fostering relations in Europe between paediatric and adult rheumatologists and thereby leading to the creation of an even more extensive network among European researchers interested in chronic inflammation.
