Development of new diagnostic and research methods and procedures

Project team members developed and implemented the diagnostic method for measurement of basophil specific allergen sensitivity by flow cytometry. The method is used for prediction of systemic side effects of venom immunotherapy, for monitoring of the efficiency of venom immunotherapy and for testing in drug and some food allergies. The method is widely internationally recognized. COBISS ID 29842393, (28743129, 29193177, 27966169, 27154393, 26253785, 25699033, 23940057, 26355417, 28263641)

Program member prof. dr. Mitja Košnik was the organizer of the Slovenian Pneumology and Allergology Congress with international participation and Golnik symposiumin year 2012.

The purpose of this scientific meeting was to present the progress of Slovenian pneumology and allergology in the past few years, and to compare the development and situation in these fields in Slovenia to other countries with similar health care systems. Slovenian speakers and invited speakers from Europe can regularly report about new and proven scientific methods. Further goals are also to transmit experience and knowledge to general practitioners and specialists from Southeastern Europe, to improve their work, accept new organizations, implement and adopt new diagnostic and therapeutic methods in their daily work with patients.
