Program
What is our Symposium about
- We promote interdisciplinary conversations and strengthen research network.
- We identify new pathogenic targets, biomarkers, and intricate signallingpathways to provide a comprehensive perspective on disease pathogenesis.
- We propose and pioneer new therapeutic strategies.
