IL PROGETTO EQUALITY E LA FORMAZIONE

Il progetto Equality, approvato e sostenuto da fondi dell'Unione Europea, ha lo scopo di formare, per il 2017 e 2018, specialisti in ematologia, pediatria ed endocrinologia nel campo della diagnosi e terapia delle complicanze endocrine degli adolescenti e giovani adulti con talassemia. 

Il terzo Partner che partecipa al progetto è il prof. Joan Lluis Vives Corrons della "Red Blood Cell and Haematopoietic Disorders Unit-Institute for Leukaemia Research Josep Carreras della University of Barcelona (Spain) e Presidente dell'ENERCA (European Network for Rare and Congenital Anemias). Gli altri  Partners sono il "Center for EU Projects of Governorship of  Antalya (CEUPA)", la "Adem Tolunay Thalasemia Center of Antalya Training", la "Research Hospital" e l'"Antalya Thalassemia Association". I primi due incontri si sono tenuti ad Antalia (10-13 maggio) e Ferrara (11-14 settembre). Dal 4 all'8 marzo del prossimo anno si terrà a Ferrara il Corso di Formazione:

 " Train the Trainers"

"Growth disorders and endocrine complications in youth and adults with thalassemia: The highlights from the international Equality project (1st of 3 parts)"

Il 2017 è stato un anno anche particolarmente ricco di pubblicazioni scientifiche su prestigiose riviste internazionali, non solo nel campo della talassemia ma anche dell'ematologia, adolescentologia ed endocrinologia. Ci auguriamo che questa attività scientifica possa essere mantenuta su questi livelli anche per il 2018.
