WORLDSymposium™ 2022 Full Program on Lysosomal Diseases
On Sunday afternoon, the Robert J. Gorlin Symposium honored the work of Robert James Gorlin, DDS, PhD. Dr. Gorlin was an maxillofacial pathologist, geneticist and academician at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. His groundbreaking research in genetic disorders of the head and neck, spanning over 50 years, revolutionized the understanding of the morphology of lysosomal diseases and many other genetic disorders. The inaugural Robert J. Gorlin Symposium, Precision Metrics for Cognition, will focus on groundbreaking metrics to measure cognitive function in children with lysosomal diseases.

After the presentation of the Innovation Award, the formal scientific sessions of WORLDSymposium 2022 officially began with presentations on laboratory research for lysosomal disease. Presentations during the Basic Science sessions are designed to improve our understanding or prediction of the phenomena involved in lysosomal pathology at a molecular, cellular, and animal model level in order to forwardly think about diagnosis and treatment of lysosomal conditions. These Basic Science sessions are always innovative and present the latest findings in the field. Download the WORLDSymposium 2022 program (PDF 150KB).

The fourth research day of the meeting began with the New Treatment Awards. Then, for the third year, the Contemporary Forum allows for presentation of scientific abstracts — Basic, Translational, and Clinical — submitted by industry first-author researchers. Although the first three days of WORLDSymposium are accredited and approved for CME credit, Commercial Interests are not eligible for ACCME accreditation. The Contemporary Forum allows commercial interests to present their work to the WORLDSymposium audience, in this non-CME session, while being held to all the same standards as the ACCME accredited sessions and scored for merit and interest by the same Program Committee.

Toward bringing the most recent research to the platform of WORLDSymposium 2022, after the late-breaking abstract submissions closed on December 1, 2021, selected late-breaking abstracts were identified by the Program Committee as being suitable for platform presentation. In order to provide access to the “hot-off-the-presses” content from these researchers, late-breaking abstracts were reviewed and scored, and the top-scoring abstracts were selected for presentation during the 2022 meeting.
