Welcome

Dear Colleagues, 

On behalf of the Romanian Society of Medical Genetics, you are cordially invited to attend the 9th Balkan Congress of Medical Genetics, which will take place from September 15 to 17 in Timisoara (Banat region), Romania.

We believe that this scientific event will be a continuation of the previous eight successful meetings, held in various cities of the Balkan Peninsula. In recent years, medical genetics has undergone profound changes and progress in the academic and medical level. European recommendations relating to treatment of rare genetic diseases network require collaboration between academic institutions and medical scientists from the region.

Among other international genetic professionals, we are honored to be having with us at the congress Prof. Milan Macek Jr., president-elect of the ESHG. 

This scientific event should be a wonderful opportunity for us to know each other better, to exchange experiences and to unite our efforts for an excellent collaboration in the research of human genetics.
