Dear colleagues,
We are honored to invite you to the 41st Annual Scientific Session of the Romanian Society for Cell Biology, which will take place in Târgu Mureș from December 11-13, 2024.
“George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology, Târgu Mureș, a renowned institution dedicated for seven decades to training doctors and pharmacists devoted to serving humanity, will host this much-anticipated annual event. You will have the opportunity to explore a multicultural space that continually strives to foster a form of interpersonal communication based on respect, tolerance, harmony, and the enrichment of cultural and scientific heritage inherited from those who built this true citadel, always aspiring to be a place of mutual understanding.
We look forward to welcoming you with warmth and hospitality, which we are known for, in the beautiful city situated on the upper course of the Mureș River, among gentle hills with forests and orchards dotted with charming guesthouses, holiday homes, or pastel-colored villas. The city’s center, once the meeting place of traders, consists of buildings constructed in the architectural style of the early 20th century. The 60-meter-high tower of the prefecture building, constructed in 1907 in the “Secession” style, can be seen from any point in the city. The Palace of Culture offers a spectacle of color and architectural elegance with its roof in shades of blue, white, and pink, through mosaics, bas-reliefs, and frescoes, inviting you to step into the imposing hall with Carrara marble and Venetian mirrors. From here, you will surely be tempted to enter the concert hall, the wonderful “Hall of Mirrors,” and the Art Museum.
We also invite you to the Museum of Ethnography and Folklore and the medieval fortress with its six bastions, the Reformed Church, the “Tower Theater,” and recently, the UMFST “GEORGE EMIL PALADE” Museum. A stroll through Rose Square will undoubtedly lead you to the two Orthodox Cathedrals that guard the central park at both ends. We leave you to discover other interesting places in our city, such as the Teleki Library, a Baroque building that was once the seat of the Royal Board, the Unitarian Church, and the Minorite Order Church dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua.
Thus, a high academic scientific event that will bring together distinguished specialists and personalities in multidisciplinary research will have a unique setting in which the Romanian Society of Cell Biology increasingly asserts its supremacy in today’s scientific world.
We sincerely hope that the meeting in Târgu Mureș will represent an important scientific event with modern and current scientific presentation held in a space of multicultural human communication on the ascending path of national and international recognition in this scientific field.
