Organizing Committee
Both Symposia are recognized for a high scientific level. The connection of these two conferences gives a unique opportunity to exchange experiences in the field of metabolomics and its application in biomedical research.
The conferences’ subject matters will concern new trends in bioanalysis, pharmaceutical and clinical analytics, and the analysis of raw materials of natural origin.
The proposed combination of topics will bring together experts, innovators, and leaders from omic sciences.
Our invitation is especially directed to life scientists, pharmacists, physicians, analysts, clinicians, pharmacologists, biochemists, pharmacognostists, and chemists specializing in the use of the modern omics methods in current medicine and pharmacy, with particular emphasis on health prevention and treatment activities.
We are also excited to host high-level lectures, panel discussions, and poster sessions. The event will offer ample opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration with researchers and professionals.
Please save the date in your calendars. We will support you in the next few weeks with more detailed information about upcoming events. You may also follow our website.
We would be honored by your participation and look forward to welcoming you to Poznan.
