CMMC SYMPOSIUM - GOES HYBRID

25 Years of Progress in Molecular Medicine:
From Basic Research to Clinical Application

Many Thanks to our Guest Speakers and Participants!

Over the last 25 years, medicine has undergone an impressive development and the understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases at the molecular and cellular level has contributed significantly to the development of specific tools for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of diseases.
