Colloques médecine & recherche
Over the past few decades, neuroscience has become one of the major fields of science, gathering knowledge from all aspects of biology – from molecular biology all the way through to the most integrated aspects of life.
The field is growing spectacularly and may well hold the key to understanding the real nature of mental processes and diseases, and hence to the creation of new treatments. Deploying all its expertise to support the progress in knowledge in neuroscience, la Fondation IPSEN hosts meetings in the most promising areas of research, from microRNA and stem cells through to consciousness and the neurobiology of human values.
Eighteen Colloques Médecine et Recherche in neuroscience, all of which have been published as reports, are proof of la Fondation IPSEN's commitment to this field.
