Welcome Address

Dear Colleague,

Continuous progress in biomedicine and pharmacology allows us to believe that personalized medicine, i.e., medicine precisely tailored for the individual patient, will become a clinical routine. Thus, the title of the 2nd Central European Biomedical Congress (CEBC) is: "From emerging biochemical strategies to personalized medicine".

The Congress is held in Kraków, Poland on June 15-18, 2016.

The 2nd CEBC is designed to bring together clinicians, physicians, pharmacologists, biologists, biotechnologists, and students. Top international speakers will provide insight into the latest findings and development in clinical practice, preclinical research and technology. The Congress also promotes outstanding opportunities for junior scientists to present research and interact with leaders in the field.

Kraków is more than just another nice city. This legendary city is the old capital of Poland placed on UNESCO’s list of World Cultural Heritage. The city is famous for its hospitality, beautiful architecture and cultural attractions.

We look forward to greeting you at CEBC in Kraków.

Best regards,

About the Event

The Central European Biomedical Congress (CEBC) mission is to address important health problems between the “bench and bedside” and invites all physicians, clinicians, pharmacists, biologists, biotechnologists, pharmacologists as well as other allied health professionals from Europe and beyond. The Congress also promotes outstanding opportunities for junior scientists (graduate students and Ph.D. students) to present research and interact with leaders in the field.

The 2nd CEBC, themed “From emerging biochemical strategies to personalized medicine”, will be hosted by Institute of Pharmacology Polish Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine Jagiellonian University College of Medicine (Kraków, Poland).

We are pleased to announce that Rector of the Jagiellonian University Professor Wojciech Nowak and President of the Polish Academy of Sciences Professor Jacek Duszyński have assumed the Honorary Patronage over the Congress.

The Scientific Committee invited top international speakers to provide insight into the latest findings and development in clinical practice, preclinical research and technology.
