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.
In order to highlight and discuss these important developments, it was our great pleasure to host the CMMC Symposium - 25 Years of Progress in Molecular Medicine: From Basic Research to Clinical Application organized as a hybrid meeting from Sept. 26 - 28, 2021 in Cologne.
