EMBEC 2020  https://www.embec2020.org/ Portoroz (Slo), 29 Nov-3 Dec 2020. The conference of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) and European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference (EMBEC) is organized by the Slovenian Society for Medical and Biological Engineering. It will be held in the Congress Centre Bernardin in Portorož, Slovenia. Aim is to make EMBEC 2020 a platform for engineers, physicists, biologists, and medical professionals to enhance collective knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging complementary disciplines and new findings into an interactive and attractive forum. New and emerging fields, such as Artificial Intelligence in Health Care, Tissue Engineering, Bioinformatics, Neurotechnology, Electroporation-based Treatments, and Technologies for Medicine and Biology, will be discussed in plenary and special sessions. LaPMOs is involved in the organization of the special session: Gene Therapy by Electroporation:https://www.embec2020.org/special-sessions/#Gene_therapy_by_electroporation

Ljubljana (SLO), November 15-21, 2020. The postgraduate course, intended both for novices and experts in electroporation, deals with cell membrane electroporation, its mechanisms and applications in biology, medicine and biotechnology. The basis of the phenomena, current applications and future prospects will be main topics of this international meeting. Emanuela Signori will participate as invited lecturer, giving a talk titled: "DNA Immunization Protocols by Electrotransfer"

The Medical University of Plovdiv has organized a scientific symposium entitled “Molecular and Personalized Medicine”. The session will be conducted on-line on 30.10.2020. Duration of each lecture will be up to 30 min. The symposium is planned in the occasion of the festivities for the 75th Anniversary of MU-Plovdiv.

Prof. Blagoi Marinov, Vice Rector of Research of Medical University of Plovdiv and Prof. Victoria Sarafian, former Vice Rector and currently Full Professor and Head of the Department of Medical Biology, have invited Emanuela Signori as official guest lecturer. Title of the talk: "MU-Plovdiv and University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome + CNR-Institute of Translational Pharmacology: a story of friendship and fruitful scientific collaboration". Since 2006, time of the first visit of MU-Plovdiv delegates in Rome, a long story of collaboration has started, with mutual scientific and cultural impact. Lecturing, mentoring PhD students and working on joint projects was a challenge that both sides faced with enthusiasm and professionalism. In this lecture, the important stages of this relationship will be re-traced, highlighting the scientific progress and advancements in studies on the mechanisms of onset and development of colorectal cancer (CRC) – a topic within the scope of research of all partners.
