Sympozjum The 13th International Symposium "Molecular basis of pathology and therapy in neurological disorders" i The 4th International Conference "Stem cells: therapeutic outlook for nervous system disorders"

DEAR COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee we would like to invite you to our conference which this year will be a joint conference of:

• The 13th International Symposium "Molecular basis of pathology and therapy in neurological disorders"

• The 4th International Conference "Stem cells: therapeutic outlook for nervous system disorders",

which will be held in November 17 – 18, 2016 in Warsaw

Our conference will focus on recent advances in research on molecular mechanisms involved in central nervous system functioning in health and disease, as well as implementation of novel experimental therapies to the neurological clinic.

All participants will have the opportunity to attend interesting lectures and present their latest results in poster form. We are looking forward to your enthusiastic interest and participation.

See you in Warsaw!
