International Consortium of Meningiomas (ICOM) Education Day
The International Consortium on Meningiomas (ICOM) is hosting a joint NASBS/ICOM scientific day on Thursday, March 5th. Led by Dr. Gelareh Zadeh, this consortium was formed to increase awareness for this understudied disease and conduct world-class research through international and multidisciplinary collaboration. This meeting’s program will focus on cutting-edge topics including augmented reality for complex surgical planning, intraoperative molecular diagnosis, artificial intelligence for surgical safety and outcome prediction, modern surgical approaches, novel molecular biomarkers, and many others. The sessions will be highly relevant to anyone involved in meningioma or artificial intelligence research and/or anyone who takes care of patients with brain tumors. Please note: this day is a non-CME educational program.
ICOM Organizing Committee: Alex Landry, Farshad Nassiri, Gelareh Zadeh, Michael Ivan, Paul Gardner
