Pathophysiology is a biomedical science, which is the typical example of interdisciplinarity, being situated at the interface between basic disciplines and clinical medicine, and at the forefront of the progress of knowledge of the mechanisms of disease and the rational basis of therapy.
The event will serve as an academic platform for the dissemination of the latest pathophysiological concepts and pathogenetic therapies of chronic diseases, will bring together doctors and pharmacists, leading specialists and reputed international researchers, will allow the establishment/reinforcement of collaborations with research groups from home and abroad, and will provide an excellent educational opportunity for young people.
The 4-day scientific program includes state-of-the-art lectures delivered by invited speakers from abroad, plenary conferences/oral communications held by pathophysiologists and invited speakers from home and abroad, dedicated workshops on medical and pharmaceutical specialties, satellite symposia, as well as oral and poster sessions for young researchers (PhD students, master students, postdoctoral fellows). During the congress, in line with tradition, the colleagues from the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine will present their work in a special section.
Through the topics of the lectures followed by debates, the direct interactions with renowned specialists and with the presence of the International Society of Pathophysiology leaders, we hope that the meeting from Timisoara will mark an important moment in the development of national and international Pathophysiology, both in education and research, and provide a venue that will ensure communication in the broadest meaning of the word.
