The German Congress of Laboratory Medicine (DKLM) 2025 is one of the leading events for professionals from clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine and related disciplines. Under the motto “Science for Precision Medicine”, it will take place from 23 to 24 October 2025 at the Congress Center Leipzig. Here are the top reasons why participation is essential:

1. Focus on the latest scientific insights and precision medicine

The congress is dedicated to innovative topics such as digitalization, artificial intelligence in laboratory medicine, personalized medicine and interdisciplinary approaches. You will have access to current research work that is changing everyday life in laboratories and clinics. Examples from the presentations include studies on biological aging from urine metabolites (based on NMR spectroscopy), effects of shear stress on platelets in sepsis patients, thrombo-inflammatory signatures in preeclampsia, and quality variations in liquid biobanking through interlaboratory testing. These contributions show how the congress offers practical solutions to challenges in precision medicine.

2. Excellent networking opportunities

Meet over 1,000 experts, scientists, clinicians and industry representatives from Germany and internationally. The congress promotes exchange through symposia, workshops and a large industrial exhibition. Use breaks, evening events and informal meetings to establish collaborations and seize career opportunities – ideal for junior and established professionals.

3. Training and certification

As a certified training event of the DGKL (German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) and the DVTA (Umbrella Association for Technologists and Analysts in Medicine), you will collect valuable CME points. The congress offers practice-oriented workshops on topics such as laboratory diagnostics, quality assurance and new technologies that can be implemented directly in your everyday work.

4. Attractive MedLabAwards and subsidies

Experience the presentation of prestigious prizes such as the Gábor Szász Prize (€15,000 for excellent work in clinical chemistry), the Digital Laboratory Award (€15,000 for AI applications) and the Ivar Trautschold Young Scientist Award (€10,000 for young scientists). In addition, there is the Margot Schumann Poster Prize for biomedical analysts as well as travel grants (500 €) for young researchers under the age of 35 – a chance to present their own work and receive recognition.

5. Industry Exhibition and Innovations

Discover the latest products, devices and solutions from leading companies in laboratory medicine. The exhibition (open on 23 and 24 October) is the perfect place to experience trends such as automation, point-of-care testing and molecular diagnostics up close and to discuss them with manufacturers.

6. Leipzig as an inspiring venue

Leipzig combines tradition and modernity: As one of the oldest university cities in Germany with over 1,000 years of history, it offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The congress venue at the Congress Center Leipzig is centrally located and easily accessible. Take the opportunity to explore the city with its rich culture (e.g. Bach sites, book fair tradition) – a welcome change from the scientific programme.

7. Current relevance in challenging times

In an environment with political, social and scientific changes (e.g. digitalization, pandemic preparedness), the DKLM is a forum for critical discourse. It addresses pressing issues such as quality assurance in biobanks, thrombo-inflammatory diseases and metabolic aging processes, which are crucial for the future of medicine.

Registration is now open via the official website (laboratoriumsmedizin-kongress.de). Early registrations secure discounts and places in workshops. Don’t miss this platform for knowledge exchange and inspiration – DKLM 2025 is a must for anyone who wants to advance laboratory medicine!

Result:

The German Congress of Laboratory Medicine (DKLM) 2025 promises exciting insights into the interface between science and clinical practice. Under the motto “Science for Precision Medicine”, the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL) and the Umbrella Association for Technologists and Analysts in Medicine Germany (DVTA) invite experts from research, clinics and industry to meet on October 23 and 24 at the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL). The two-day event is aimed at laboratory physicians, biomedical analysts and decision-makers to discuss current advances in diagnostics and strengthen networks. The ceremonial opening of the congress will take place on 22 October with the presentation of the MedLabAwards in the Salles de Pologne.
