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 5th edition of the annual scientific Ri.MED Symposium “Priming the therapeutic pipeline: new strategies for drug discovery” took place on October 24, 2011 in Palermo, Fondazione Banco di Sicilia.
Here is the program:
