The 6th National Congress on Laboratory Medicine,
the 2nd Symposium on Immunopathology, and the 2nd National Congress of Clinical Laboratory Assistants will be held in Sibiu, Romania in October
Manole Cojocaru MD PhD, Chairperson of the 6th RSLM Congress, points out that the event is of ‘outstanding importance in laboratory medicine’ The prestigious laboratory scientists and other specialists include many from abroad, such as Marilene Melo, Brazil; Bernard Gouget, France; Enrico Granieri, Italy; Zoran Mijuskovic, Serbia; Tomislav Stojanovic, Serbia; Claus Muss, Austria; Mihaly Boros, Hungary; Eleonora Luka Pilla, Switzerland; Elmer Koneman, USA; Svetoslav Handjiev, Bulgaria, and Daniela Zimmerman (European Hospital journal, Germany).
Young scientists, eager to improve their professional knowledge and practical skills, Dr Cojocaru adds. ‘The main aim of the Romanian Society of Laboratory Medicine is to enhance the understanding and prestige of laboratory medicine, in all its aspects.’ Another goal, he says, is to ‘…create a warm scientific environment where young scientists can interact directly with well-known experts.’ And indeed, many young scientists, eager to improve professional knowledge as well as practical skills, will be attending.
One young researcher will receive the Constantin Voiculescu Award, launched in 2006 to honour the best laboratory medicine research.
Extending the ‘warmest welcome’, Dr Cojocaru adds that the organising committee has not only arranged an attractive scientific programme, trade show and various academic activities, but also that the chosen venue, Sibiu, is the 2007 European Cultural Capital.
