I would like to thank them all for having contributed to put together an outstanding program, aiming at fostering interdisciplinary exchange at the forefront of the life sciences. Internationally renowned scientists from Italy and abroad will present their most recent data; young Italian and foreign scientists will be welcomed to present their research in a highly stimulating and interactive scientific environment. We will also hold round tables on selected hot topics as well as talks dedicated to a broader audience to enhance the interaction between scientists and non-scientists.
