Keynote speaker: Professor Luis Querol, University of Barcelona

Topic: Autoimmune nodopathies: an emerging concept.

Dr Luis Querol Gutiérrez is the coordinator and principal investigator of the Autoimmune Neurology group at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain. Dr Querol's research interests include autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system and translational research in the field of autoantibodies and immune-mediated neuropathies. His research has helped to define autoimmune nodopathies, clinically validate prognostic biomarkers in Guillain- Barré syndrome, and to monitor treatment response and disease burden in patients with inflammatory neuropathies. His research has contributed to the main consortia studying inflammatory neuropathies (IGOS, INCBase, iMAGine) and to the national consortium studying rare diseases (CIBERER). Dr Querol has received the Best Young Clinical Investigator CIBERNED 2013 award and the 2014 PK Thomas prize from the European Federation of Neurological Societies for his work with autoantibodies in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
