The conference "Science. Patients. Therapies." is a nationwide, interdisciplinary event devoted to rare diseases – from basic research, through translational medicine, real patient access to innovative therapies. Professor Victor Ambros, Nobel Prize winner, microRNA discoverer and one of the most outstanding molecular biologists of our time, will be the guest of honour at the conference. His discoveries became the foundation of a new generation of RNA therapy (ASO, siRNA, mRNA), which today sets the direction for the development of precision medicine.
The exhibition was prepared in connection with the 90th anniversary of the opening of the House of Medics – it happened exactly on February 22, 1936.
