Come and hear from top researchers about the latest scientific research into endometriosis - the challenges, the opportunities, and what discoveries they are hoping to make. We're delighted that Professor Stacey Missmer, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Reproductive Biology at Michigan State University and Scientific Director, Boston Centre for Endometriosis will be joining us to deliver a keynote address, as well as leading researchers in areas such as genetics, pain management and fertility.

We are delighted to be holding Endometriosis Research Now! on Saturday 17th November - the UKs first Endometriosis Scientific Research Conference for those with endometriosis, family and friends. Organised in conjunction with World Endometriosis Research Foundation and the World Endometriosis Society, we will be joined for the day by top researcher from across the UK and a key note speaker all the way from America - Stacey Missmer, Professor of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Reproductive Biology at Michigan State University and Scientific Director, Boston Centre for Endometriosis, who will be guiding us through the challenges and direction of endometriosis research in the future. 

 

As well as sessions giving an overview of endometriosis research and future directions, and on the genetics of endometriosis, there will be a range of seminars to choose from including:

  • The latest research in pain mechanisms
  • The latest research in fertility
