Jahrestagung Physiologie und Pathologie der Fortpflanzung und gleichzeitig 40. Veterinär-Humanmedizinische Gemeinschaftstagung in Zürich begrüßen zu dürfen. Die Tierphysiologie der ETH Zürich und die Klinik für Reproduktionsmedizin der Universität Zürich richten gemeinsam die diesjährige Februartagung 2015 aus. Wir möchten gern dazu beitragen, die naturwissenschaftlich orientierte Grundlagenforschung und die klinisch orientierte Reproduktionsmedizin näher zusammenzurücken und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen beiden Gebieten weiter zu stärken. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist uns die aktive Teilnahme von jungen Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und wissenschaftlern. In Anerkennung ihrer Tätigkeit haben wir ihnen möglichst viel Präsentationsmöglichkeiten eingeräumt. Als Mittelpunkt des wissenschaftlichen Austausches haben wir die Themen Metabolische Programmierung sowie Einflüsse der Inflammation auf die Fertilität gewählt. Wir konnten als Hauptreferenten mit Claire Wathes, Anne Navarrete-Santos, Klaus Steger und Mats Troedsson herausragende Fachleute gewinnen, die humanund veterinärmedizinisch herausfordernde wissenschaftliche Aspekte bei verschiedenen Spezies präsentieren werden. Die Februartagung ist seit Jahrzehnten die wichtigste Tagung zum Thema Physiologie und Pathologie der männlichen und weiblichen Fortpflanzung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Ein Charakterzug des Gastgeberlandes Schweiz ist sein eleganter Umgang mit vier verschiedenen Landessprachen (deutsch, französisch, italienisch, rätoromanisch) neben der Wissenschaftssprache englisch. Im Wissen um die sprachliche Vielseitigkeit der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer bitten wir in diesem Jahr um englischsprachige Vorträge. Dies soll nicht von deutsch- und anderssprachigen Diskussionen abhalten, sondern allen erlauben, Einsicht in die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse zu erhalten. Der Erfolg der Tagung hängt ganz maßgeblich von den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer ab, die durch Ihr Interesse und Engagement am wissenschaftlichen Diskurs teilnehmen. Wir freuen uns daher auf rege Diskussionen mit Ihnen, heißen Sie ganz herzlich in Zürich willkommen und wünschen Ihnen eine vielseitig bereichernde Tagung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Prof. Dr. Susanne E. Ulbrich 2 Prof. Dr. Heinrich Bollwein Februartagung 11.-13.02.2015 Zürich, Schweiz February Conference 11.-13.02.2015 Zurich, Switzerland Welcome to the February Conference 2015 Dear collegues, th It is our great pleasure to welcome you in Zurich to the 48 Annual Conference Physiology and Pathology of th Reproduction and simultaneously 40 Joint Congress of Veterinary and Human Medicine. The Animal Physiology of ETH Zurich and the Clinic of Reproductive Medicine of the University of Zurich are jointly hosting the February Conference 2015. We specifically aim at closing ranks between basic research in natural sciences and the clinically oriented reproductive medicine as well as to further strengthen the collaboration between the two areas. The active participation of young scientists is of particular concern to us. In recognition of their excellent work, we have granted them as much presentation options as possible. We have chosen the topics of metabolic programming and effects of inflammation on fertility as a focus of our scientific exchange. With Claire Wathes, Anne Navarrete-Santos, Klaus Steger and Mats Troedsson, we were able to win outstanding experts as keynote speakers. They will present scientifically challenging aspects of human and veterinary medicine in different species. For decades, the February conference has been the most important german-speaking conference on physiology and pathology of the male and female reproduction. One important characteristic of this year´s host country Switzerland is the elegant handling of four different national languages (German, French, Italian, RhaetoRomanic) in addition to English as scientific language. Knowing the linguistic diversity of the participants, we decided to ask the speakers for English lectures. This is not meant to discourage discussions in German and other languages. It simply allows everyone to gain insight into the latest research. The success of the conference also crucially depends on its auditorium. You are therefore kindly invited to actively participate in the scientific discussions with the speakers and the collegue researchers. We friendly welcome you in Zurich, wish you a nice stay and hope you enjoy a successful conference. Kind regards, Prof. Dr. Susanne E. Ulbrich Prof. Dr. Heinrich Bollwein 3 February Conference 11.-13.02.2015 Zurich, Switzerland Februartagung 11.-13.02.2015 Zürich, Schweiz Congress Sponsors GOLD Biokema SA Crissier, Switzerland Labotect Labor-TechnikGöttingen GmbH Göttingen, Germany MSD Animal Health GmbH Lucerne, Switzerland Provet AG Lyssach, Switzerland SUISAG Sempach, Switzerland VIRBAC Schweiz AG - Animal Health Glattbrugg, Switzerland Virbac Tierarzneimittel GmbH Bad Oldesloe, Germany Zoetis Schweiz GmbH Zürich, Switzerland SILVER Gynemed GmbH & CO.KG Lensahn, Germany IMV Technologies Munich, Germany Swissgenetics Zollikofen, Switzerland BRONZE Anklin AG Binningen, Switzerland Eickemeyer Medizintechnik für Tierärzte AG Appenzell, Switzerland Minitüb GmbH Tiefenbach, Germany Olympus Schweiz AG Volketswil, Switzerland PHYSIA GmbH Neu-Isenburg, Germany 4 GYNEMED Februartagung 11.-13.02.2015 Zürich, Schweiz February Conference 11.-13.02.2015 Zurich, Switzerland Conference Program Wednesday, February 11th 2015 15:30 – 20.30 Registration open ETH LFW, Universitätstr. 2, Lichthof/Atrium 16:00 – 18:00 Workshop "10 Jahre ReproTier" Kompetenzverbund ReproTier: Projekte und Perspektiven ETH LFW, Universitätstr. 2, Room B1 17:00 – 20.30 Poster setup ETH Main Building Foyer Gallery, Foyer F30 19:00 – 20:00 Mitgliederversammlung DVG, Fachgruppe „Fortpflanzungen und ihre Störungen“ ETH LFW, Universitätstr. 2, Room D12 18:00 – 20.30 Welcome Reception (Apéro) ETH LFW, Universitätstr. 2, Lichthof/Atrium Thursday, February 12th 2015 07:30 – 19:00 Registration open ETH Main Building Foyer F30 08:00 Conference Opening ETH Main Building Audimax F30 08:30 – 10:15 Session 1: Endocrinology & Reproduction ETH Main Building Audimax F30 Chairs: K1 The impact of metabolic stress on immunity and fertility in dairy cows D.
