Konferenser och symposier Zoobiquity Event at Karolinska Institutet
Leading physicians and veterinarians will turn to the natural world as a source of insights to accelerate innovation in health. This event, in collaboration with the DEVREG Doctoral Programme, offers attendees opportunities to observe and participate in bio-inspired research focused on two major challenges in women’s health: Cardiovascular Disease and Reproductive health, including fertility Preservation.
REGISTER HERE before the 28th of August
Can a wild giraffe galloping across the savannah solve diastolic heart failure in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy?
Zoobiquity Conferences have been bringing physician and veterinary investigators together for collaborations since 2011. The potential for biomedical innovation emerging from collaborations between human and veterinary medicine is great but gaps between the two fields has been a limiting factor. The goals of Zoobiquity Conferences is to close this gap, expose physician investigators to experts in animal health and the natural world, and to accelerate innovations in human and animal health.
The Zoobiquity Event at KI in collaboration with the DEVREG Doctoral Programme will be a dynamic, research-focused, multi-disciplinary exchange in which leaders from veterinary and human medicine collaboratively turn to the natural world to identify and develop novel and innovative approaches to challenges in human health.
Bioinspiration - turning to natural world for insights into human challenges, is emerging as a powerful tool in the fields of engineering, material sciences and structural design.However, while the natural world undoubtedly contains many opportunities for human health, bioinspiration remains an underleveraged tool in biomedical innovation.
We kindly invite PhD students, medical doctors, researchers to act upon this exiting concept and develop new innovative ways to endorse development of health science that serves for all!
Please REGISTER before the 28th of August.

Learning outcomes
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Define approaches for using natural animal models as source of insights for issues in women's health
- Describe the mechanisms that lead to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in women
- Recognize non-pathological cardiac hypertrophy in non-human animals and develop strategies for understanding connections to pathological hypertrophy in women
- Describe mechanisms leading to causes contributing to infertility syndromes in women
- Describe a range of fertility-related physiology in non-human vertebral species including the role of environmental impact
- Identify a range of strategies used by veterinarians to enhance fertility or treat infertility in non-human animals
