Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of The Serbian Society for Molecular Biology (MolBioS), with great pleasure, we invite you to Belgrade for the Second International Congress of Molecular Biologists of Serbia (CoMBoS 2). CoMBoS 2 will be held from October 1-3, 2020 at the Belgrade Youth Center, a cult meeting point for generations of art and culture lovers, located in the heart of the city. The prog­ram­ will cover many fields of modern molecular biology, including molecular biomedicine, molecular biotechnology and molecular cell biology. It will consist of plenary lectures, symposia and poster sessions, with special attention paid to young scientists through the Young Scientist Forum and flesh presentations. We aim to foster curiosity, communication and collaboration, as well as to provide an opportunity for molecular biologists and related scientists to share ideas and experiences and be inspired by the outstanding lectures of renowned scientists and experts.

We look forward to welcoming you in Belgrade at CoMBoS 2!
