Workshop 6 – Teaching course: Neuroopathology of neurodegenerative diseases

14:15-15:30 (room: August Bier, 5^th floor, 45 seats)

The course is intended to provide participants with an understanding of the basic neuropathological features, diagnostic procedures, and current consensus criteria for neuropathological evaluation of the most common age-related neurodegenerative diseases, with focus on Alzheimer's disease, Lewy-body disorders and frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Workshop 7 – DNA-methylation profiling for CNS tumors: expert real life experience including “EPIC fails”

14:15-15:30 (room: Robert Koch, 5^th floor, 90 seats)

14:15-15:30 (room: August Bier, 5^th floor, 45 seats)

The aim of the session is to get to know and classify different neuroinfectious diseases on the basis of the morphological changes in connection with clinical symptoms, diagnostics and therapy.

Workshop 9 – DNA-methylation profiling beyond the brain with relevance for the neuropathologist

15:45-17:00 (room: Robert Koch, 5^th floor, 90 seats)

This session will cover DNA methylation based profiling of tumors beyond brain tumors (e.g. hematological malignancies) and will also briefly introduce nanopore sequencing-based DNA methylation profiling.
