IKMG –
Interna,onal Kidney and Monoclonal Gammopathy Research Group 2nd Interna,onal Mee,ng La Rochelle, France, September 3-‐4, 2015 hFp://interna,onalkidneymonoclonalgammopathy.org Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to a7end the second interna:onal IKMG mee:ng in La Rochelle which is taking place in September 2015. The goal of the IKMG is to promote research into, and understanding of, kidney diseases resul:ng from monoclonal gammopathies and we are very excited about the program our organizing commi7ee has put together. We plan to include state of the art lectures on the pathology, diagnos:cs and treatment of monoclonal gammopathy-‐related kidney diseases presented by experts from around the world. A poster and plenary session will cover the latest advances in this evolving field. This mee:ng will hopefully s:mulate exchanges between clinicians and researchers, and open up new perspec:ves for diagnos:c and therapeu:c approaches to the treatment of these rare disorders, through a be7er understanding of their pathophysiological mechanisms. Call for abstracts will be announced in May. La Rochelle is a very pleasant city located on the west coast of France. The mee:ng will be held at the Espace Encan, close to the old port in the historical city center, with a wide choice of hotels within walking distance. The social program will be a unique opportunity to discover the best local food. We look forward to mee:ng you in La Rochelle,
