The Board of the Polish Society of Medical Chemistry invites you to participate in the Eliminations aimed at selecting a representative from Poland to deliver a message at the EFMC-YMCS 2023 (10th EFMC Young Medicinal Chemist Symposium ☞ https://www.efmc-ymcs.org/), which will take place on September 7-8, 2023 in Zagreb, Croatia, after the 9th EFMC International Symposium on Advances in Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ASMC’23), September 3-7, 2023
Eliminations have been a tradition for several years. The first winner, Dr. Karolina Pająk from the Medical University of Lublin, represented Poland in Lisbon in 2014. The Polish representative at the second EFMC-YMCS 2015 symposium in Antwerp, Belgium was Dr. Anna Gomółka from the Medical University of Warsaw. Dr. Piotr Drączkowski from the Medical University of Lublin, in 2017, during the 4th EFMC-YMCS in Vienna, Poland was represented by Dr. Jakub Staroń from the Institute of Pharmacology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow.
