The German Congress of Laboratory Medicine (DKLM) 2025 is considered one of the leading international specialist events for clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine and biomedical analysis. The congress, which will take place on 23 and 24 October at the Congress Center Leipzig under the motto “Science for Precision Medicine”, will bring together more than 1,000 experts from science, clinics and industry from all over the world.

The DKLM unfolds its international significance through several core functions: On the one hand, the congress presents innovative research results and the latest technologies that advance diagnostics and precision medicine worldwide. Digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), molecular diagnostics and omics technologies are among the focus areas that are currently revolutionizing medical laboratory diagnostics. Concrete examples include innovative AI-supported methods for the faster analysis of laboratory findings or new molecular diagnostic approaches for individualized cancer therapy, which will be discussed at the congress.

On the other hand, the DKLM acts as an important networking platform for multidisciplinary cooperation across national borders. The dialogue between researchers, clinicians and representatives of industry is specifically promoted in order to accelerate the transfer of knowledge and establish common quality standards internationally. This also includes the promotion of the education and training of specialists, which is supported by innovative certifications in order to meet the increasing demands of the globalized healthcare sector.

The congress also responds to global challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers in laboratory medicine and the increasing importance of precision medicine procedures. It offers space to develop solutions and discuss key technologies for diagnostics and therapy that play a role in pandemic prevention or chronic diseases, for example.

The focus on sustainability, for example through climate-friendly mobility offers for participants and environmentally conscious congress organisation, underlines the holistic importance of DKLM.

Overall, the German Congress for Laboratory Medicine 2025 will strengthen Germany as a location for innovation and promote international leadership in laboratory medicine. It provides impetus that also benefits global healthcare systems and patients worldwide.

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.
