The Workshop on the Health of  Boren from Medical Geology Perspective

 

  The first meeting which is co-organized by the Center for Residency Training and the Committee for International Relations of Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital will take place from July 10th through 16th. This meeting is titled “The Workshop on the Health of  Boren from Medical Geology Perspective”. The effects of boren on cellular, tissue and organ level will be discussed by the prominent authors in the world. We are willing to gather the graduate and postgraduate students and researchers with the prominent scientists of the subject and help improve the knowledge and the experience in this regard.  In order to promote experimental studies, an animal model on the use of boren on the rats will also be taught beside intensive discussions and lectures on the theoretical subjects.

This activity will take place at the conference hall of the research laboratory at the Etlik Campus of the Diskapi Yildirim. Beyazit Training and Research Hospital. The program is available on our website (www.diskapieah.gov.tr). The registration for the hand-on course is closed due to limited capacity. 

We appreciate the interest in our meeting.
