• Horizontes iMM: Uma pergunta a três

A scientist, a medical doctor and a patient are brought together around one same question. This is the motto for a new cycle of public talks organized by iMM scientists. Scientific and health discoveries may strongly impact the future of human health and we believe that discussing these topics as a society are of utmost importance.
