Meeting on needs and challenges in translational medicine, Rome, Italy

A multidisciplinary international meeting entitled 'Needs and challenges in translational medicine: filling the gap between basic research and clinical applications' will be held from 1 to 3 October in Rome, Italy.

The primary goal of the meeting is to provide a scientific forum for scientists and experts involved in both laboratory and clinical research in different fields of biomedicine to discuss recent progress in translational research and the latest scientific discoveries and their translation into clinical applications. Moreover, there will be a particular focus on the identification of needs, obstacles and new opportunities to promote translational research in biomedicine.

The scientific programme will cover a broad range of fields including:
- cancer;
- neurosciences;
- rare diseases;
