INFRAFRONTIER Conference 2025

28-29 April, Munich

Human Disease Modelling in Rare Diseases

The INFRAFRONTIER Conferences are back! This time with a focus on Rare Diseases, don't miss it!

28-29 April 2025

Munich, Germany

Register before 31 March

We are excited to announce that the INFRAFRONTIER Conference 2025 will take place in Munich on 28-29 April, bringing together leading experts in disease modelling to advance rare disease research.

This year’s conference will highlight the latest modelling technologies (including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches) and explore how they can drive progress in clinical research for rare diseases.

About INFRAFRONTIER Conferences

The INFRAFRONTIER Conferences serve as key engagement platforms for the international mouse research community, as well as researchers working in personalised medicine, rare diseases, ageing, functional genetic variances, and cancer research.

Following the success of our previous virtual edition, which focused on the role of in vivo models in cancer research, this year’s event returns in person -to offer a unique opportunity for scientific exchange, collaboration, and networking.

Join us in Munich to explore the latest breakthroughs in disease modelling and their impact on rare disease research!
