14TH ANNUAL MEETING OF AEPCOS SOCIETY

LORNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

NOVEMBER 10-12, 2016

In this issue, Enrico Carmina has interviewed Selma Witchel, Chairman of the AEPCOS Annual Meeting Committee, and Helena Teede, Chairman of the Organizing Committee and President f the Australian Endocrine Socie-ty, about the upcoming 14th AEPCOS Annual Meeting that will be held in Lorne, near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, November 10-12, 2016. 1. Helena, why Lorne was chosen as venue for this meeting?

Melbourne is officially the world most livable city. Lorne is a beautiful drive from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road - one of the most spectacular drives in the world. November is magnificent spring weath-er and the town of Lorne and the surrounding beaches and forests are spectacular. The Mantra venue is very picturesque and is right on the beach at the foot of the Otway ranges and national park.

2. Helena, What may mean for Australians the collaboration with other research centers around the world? It is a fantastic opportunity to have so many International leaders com-ing to Australia. Many are visiting Australian labs and clinical centers before and after AEPCOS and meeting with local teams to further build collaborations. Australian leaders and groups are bringing their early and mid careers to engage with and meet world leaders in PCOS and to share their research in the field.

3. What support will be given to young researchers to participate to the meeting? The Australian Centre for Research Excellence in PCOS is holding a 2 day meeting before AEPCOS in the same venue. We are also supporting 17 early and midcareers to attend the AEPCOS meeting with all sub-mitting abstracts to the meeting. We are also supporting Australian leaders in the field by assisting with AEPCOS membership. We anticipate around 30-35 attendees supported by the Centre alone.

Helena Teede, M.D.

The Baumgartner-Azziz/AE-PCOS fund will award 2 Travel Awards (up to

$1500 each depending on travel distance) to the best abstracts present-

ed by young (<35 years) investigators.

1. Selma, what new information about PCOS and androgen disorders will be presented at the Australia meeting? The14th Annual AE-PCOS Meeting will present information on several topic areas relevant to PCOS. The first afternoon will cover the diversity of ethnic variations in PCOS phenotypes. Specific ethnic groups to be discussed include ethnic minorities in the USA, Indigenous Populations of Australia, Han Chinese, and those on the Indian subcontinent. The neuroendocrinology of PCOS will be presented by Drs. Ian Clarke, Sel-ma Witchel, Didier Dewailly, and Enrico Carmina. Drs. Mark Goodarzi, Joop Laven, and Ricardo Azziz will provide updates on Genome Wide Association Studies in PCOS, puberty, and menopause. Several presen-tations will focus on the natural history of PCOS across the lifespan. Drs. Richard Stouffer, Rebecca Robker, and Kirsty Walters will provide in-depth discussions on the ovary and steroidogenesis in PCOS. Novel in-formation regarding fertility and complications of pregnancy will be shared. The findings of the AE-PCOS Taskforce on non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia will be presented as will progress on the Interna-tional PCOS guideline and the initiative to rename PCOS.

2. Selma, what are the future directions of the basic and clinical research? Despite the gains in knowledge regarding the clinical features, charac-teristic laboratory studies, pathogenesis, and treatment, much remains to be learned. The questions listed below are incomplete, but provides topics relevant for future investigations (an editor note: Prof. Witchel has sent a long list of possible research projects. Because of space problems, the editor has selected one research direction for any spe-cific issue. For a full list of possible research projects you may contact Selma Witchel by sending an email to [email protected])

What can be learned through the follow-up of genetic loci identified on GWAS studies with interrogation of specific genotype-phenotype associations?
