Symposium on Biotechnology and Biomedicine: From the university to the enterprise

May 30th to June 1st,  

Objectives

This symposium will offer a special opportunity to share the progress of scientific research on the fields of biotechnology and biomedicine, identify new opportunities, and exchange results. The Organizing Committee will ensure a high scientific level, which will include plenary lectures, oral presentations, round tables and poster exhibitions. Additionally, the participants will have the opportunity to learn about the culture, history and social life of our University of Havana on its 295th Anniversary, as well as the Cuban capital, in a climate of hospitality that will make their stay fruitful and pleasant and unforgettable.
