Of growing interest is the role of microbial infections in inciting degenerative neuroinflammatory responses and genetic factors that may regulate those responses. Elucidating these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapeutic approaches that prevent the onset and slow the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Here to debate on the subject is Prof. Bogdan Ovidiu Popescu MD, PhD, Head of the Neurology Department at Colentina Clinical Hospital and also Vice-Rector at Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy. He has an impressive career behind, some of the most honourable mentions in his CV being the following titles: Corresponding member of the Academy of Medical Sciences, Former President of the Romanian Society of Neurology and Vice President of the College of Physicians of Bucharest.

Octavian Bucur MD, PhD has made impactful contributions in several research fields, being one of the main developers of Expansion Pathology. His 13 years of training and research at Harvard Medical School allowed him to create the basics of a revolutionary technology that enables medical professionals to diagnose different pathologies in earlier stages. Along with MIT and Harvard Medical School researchers, he has devised a way to image biopsy samples with much higher resolution — this expansion allows scientists to see features with a conventional light microscope that ordinarily could be seen only with an expensive, high-resolution electron microscope.

Have you been dreaming of some new destinations to explore, but don't know much about the risk that travelling implies in the context of the on-going pandemic?

It is a known fact that respecting the safety measures wherever we go substantially lowers the transmission rate of the SARS-CoV2. But how exposed are we actually, during a flight? 🤔

Being a travel enthusiast with an actual degree in Travel Medicine, the primary physician Roxana Voica, M.D., is willing to make an in-depth exploration of the answer to this question and give you up-to-date knowledge of the particular health risk imposed by the global pandemic.

Roxana Voica, M.D. is a
☑️ primary care physician specializing in infectious diseases, as well as a
☑️ specialist in gastroenterology.
She graduated from the Faculty of Military Medicine, at Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, later obtaining attestations in
☑️general ecography, as well as
☑️travel medicine - which she describes as her absolute passion. At the same time, Mrs. Voica, M.D., works at the
☑️National Aviation and Space Medicine Institute, all of the above making her the best mentor to guide you through a knowledgeable, insightful exploration of the viral transmission during a flight.

This being said – as a healthcare enthusiast and young research lover, you will most certainly find it useful and enjoy hearing about the science behind the whole process, straight from an expert in the field.

So, if you're willing to find out more on this intriguing topic, make sure to join MD Voica's conference, which will be available exclusively at IMSSB 2021!

Discover the way to identify your skin’s problems with Prof. Olga Simionescu, MD, PhD, an expert in her field. You can learn about dermoscopy, the non-invasive examination of the skin, using skin-surface microscopy. It is used in the diagnosis of skin cancers, inflammatory skin diseases and other hair conditions, like alopecia, pathologies that Prof. Olga Simionescu, MD, PhD, has a particular interest in.

The physical, psychological and social needs of burn victims necessitates the close collaboration of a broad spectrum of healthcare professionals. Prof. Dan Mircea Enescu, MD, PhD is one of the most distinguished and dedicated professionals of this field, as former President of The Burn Society and the inventor of the Skin Bank.

From the first surgical procedure performed on the heart in 1895, to minimally invasive and novel procedures, cardiac surgery is undergoing continuous evolution. How did it start, where are we now, and where is it heading? Join us at IMSSB 2021 and find out!
Our speaker will be Prof. Habil. Horațiu Moldovan, MD, PhD, Cardiovascular Surgeon and Doctor in Medical Sciences. During his career, he has completed over 5000 open-heart surgeries and 2500 vascular and endovascular procedures, addressing multiple types of cardiovascular pathologies.

The COVID-19 infection was initially milder in children than in adults, but the recent rise in the paediatric cases has led to a more accurate understanding of its actual severity. So, what is the real risk of infection in children? Are the symptoms and long term effects the same for the little ones? How does it affect them on a social and psychological level? Join us at the IMSSB 2021 to find out!
Our speaker will be Prof. Doina Anca Pleșca, MD, PhD, Paediatric Neurologist and Doctor in Medical Sciences, with a subspecialty in Paediatric Pneumology, and current President of the Romanian Society of Paediatrics.
