Ri.MED Foundation organizes every year a Scientific Symposium, centered on subjects in the 8 research fields of interest, in which Ri.MED researchers and keynote speakers show their scientific results. Each edition of the event raises attention from the scientific community and from the press.
The 4th edition of the annual scientific Ri.MED Symposium took “New Drugs, New Vaccines, and New Insights into the Cause and Prevention of Human Diseases” place on October 25, 2010 in Palermo, Villa Igiea.
The 4th Ri.MED Symposium – as well as previous editions – reserves to the participants the opportunity to attend a preview presentation of important scientific results, not yet disclosed.
We thank all participants for their contribution to the success of this important occasion of exchange and scientific divulgation.
