IN FOCUS: THR
2023-04-25
Welcome to GTNF’s IN FOCUS Series, our free to register online half-day conference which takes place every spring.
IN FOCUS explores the big issues, but in more depth.
Launched in 2021, the IN FOCUS series has already trained its lens on THR and on Sustainability.
In 2023, tobacco harm reduction is once again in the spotlight. The WHO is preparing to host its COP 10 for the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Panama this November. As a result, our outstanding line-up of public health professionals, industry and policy experts, and thought leaders will be sharing their latest ideas and insights on this ever-evolving topic.
At a time when the global regulatory environment remains mixed, and the sustainability of reduced-risk products are under the microscope, we have brought together thought leaders and commentators from across the world to give us their views and debate the way ahead.
So join us on Tuesday 25 April 2023 for IN FOCUS: THR.

GFN Warsaw 2023
2023-06-21 - 2023-06-24 | Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland
Are you as excited for #GFN23 as we are? As preparations for this year’s conference in Warsaw (21 – 24 June) intensify, we have a couple of important announcements to make. We know that you’ve been hotly anticipating who will be speaking at #GFN23 – well, without further ado, we are very happy to announce our keynote speakers and the Michael Russell Orator for this year’s conference!
To start things off, we are pleased to welcome Sarah Cooney as our first keynote speaker of #GFN23, who will be delving into “The politics of scientific publishing”. Sarah Cooney is a science engagement specialist focusing on harm reduction and science communication, now running her own consultancy based in the UK. In her earlier career, Sarah held various editorial and publishing roles at leading peer-reviewed journals including Nature, Elsevier and BioMedCentral. She then spent nearly 12 years at British American Tobacco, establishing the company’s science engagement and communication capability to share the science behind less-risky nicotine products. With a BSc in genetics and an MSc in plant genetics, Sarah’s own research has been published in the internationally-renowned journal, Science.
Our second keynote speaker, Paul Newhouse, M.D., will address “The role of nicotinic systems in brain disorders”. Dr Newhouse holds the Jim Turner Chair in Cognitive Disorders at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, US, where he is Professor of Psychiatry, Pharmacology, and Medicine. His research has focused on brain cholinergic mechanisms in cognitive ageing and the role of nicotinic cholinergic receptor systems in normal and impaired cognitive functioning in humans. Dr Newhouse’s work established the importance of brain nicotinic cholinergic receptor systems in normal cognitive processes and established these receptors as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions.
And finally, Dr Roberto Sussman will be giving this year’s Michael Russell Oration! Dr Sussman is a full-time senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute for Nuclear Sciences of the National University of Mexico. His main research areas are General Relativity and Cosmology, but he has conducted research in other areas of Physics, including peer reviewed publications on e-cigarette aerosols. Dr Sussman is also Founder and Director of Pro-Vapeo Mexico, an association representing Mexican consumers of noncombustible nicotine products, and is actively advocating for an appropriate regulation of these products in Mexico. He directs and supervises the effort to spread scientific information about safer nicotine products and advises consumers on countering the misinformation and prejudice about them that is common throughout Latin America. Dr Sussman’s oration, entitled “A rigorous critical evaluation of tobacco and nicotine science”, looks to explore this theme in much-anticipated detail.

Between risk, prevention, diagnosis, and therapies for dyslipidemias
2023-09-19 | Bari, Bari, Italy
High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease, as evidenced by multiple epidemiological and intervention studies that have shown a near-linear relationship between this dyslipidemia, morbidity, and cardiovascular mortality.
After the forced break due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, it is appropriate to return to discussing “non-communicable chronic diseases” whose health risks have continued to accumulate in the last 3 years.
The conference aims to bring attention to the diagnosis and management of hypercholesterolemia in light of the latest guidelines produced by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS).
Innovative topics such as environmental risk factors, including smoking and their role in the progression of atherosclerosis, will be addressed. Diagnostic ultrasound for patients with hypercholesterolemia (with a particular focus on carotid Doppler) and innovative pharmacological approaches that include PCSK9 inhibitors and bempedoic acid, drugs that have made new intervention possibilities possible in patients at high and very high cardiovascular risk, will be discussed. Hypercholesterolemia familial, a hereditary disease in which a genetic alteration causes extremely high levels of LDL cholesterol that correlate with the high risk of cardiac events in carriers, will also be discussed.
The final session proposes non-pharmacological suggestions for the management of cardiovascular risk, including lifestyle, physical activity, nutraceuticals, and nutrition, and in particular, the Mediterranean diet as a lifestyle that originates in our territory that should be adopted and exported, physical activity that brings us back in contact with the environment and also has an ecological meaning, and the potential role of nutraceuticals.

After three years of virtual Conferences and Congresses, it will be a real pleasure to welcome you to the next CORESTA Agro-Phyto Conference (AP2023) to be held in Cancún, Mexico, from 15-19 October 2023.
Located in the state of Quintana Roo on the Yucatán Peninsula in eastern Mexico, Cancún used to be a small fishing village in the mid-sixties. Today it is a vibrant city with a population of more than eight hundred thousand people and is globally recognised as a top tourist destination.
Mayan culture flourished in the Yucatán Peninsula and it has historically been renowned for its global scientific and technological contributions to modern civilization. The use of rolled tobacco is also known to have been practiced in the Yucatan Peninsula and the word “sikar” may be the origin of the English words “cigar” and “cigarettes”.
The mission of CORESTA is to promote and facilitate international cooperation and best practices in scientific research relative to tobacco and its derived products. Its vision is to be recognised as an authoritative source of publicly available, credible science and best practices.
The AP2023 Conference is being organised by CORESTA and follows on from the SSPT2023 Conference organised by Mother Murphy’s Laboratories.
The objective of the CORESTA AP2023 Conference is to provide the scientific community with opportunities for discussions with international specialists leading to fruitful collaborations, and multiple occasions for interactions and networking. We also strive to offer scientists the chance to share their knowledge and experience, and the CORESTA Agronomy & Leaf Integrity and Phytopathology & Genetics Study Groups are preparing an attractive scientific programme with high level scientific presentations and thematic workshops. We thank all presenters who will contribute to the quality of the programme and all participants who will attend in an open and cooperative spirit.
We are confident that the venue and the programme will meet your expectations, and we look forward to welcoming you in this unique environment and to working together to advance science and knowledge.
