French-German Symposium:
The lung at the crossroad of health and disease

April 7th, 2017
Biopark Auditorium - Paris

                                            

 

In partnership with the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), the Physiopathology Metabolism Nutrition ITMO organised a French-German Symposium: the lung at the crossroad of health and disease.

The French German symposium discussed novel concepts and trends in the understanding of the respiratory system in health and disease. It brought together young and senior scientists from France and Germany, giving them the opportunity to discuss, explore the synergies and complementarities of scientific expertise, and foster bilateral scientific collaboration.
