International FishMed Conference on Zebrafish Research (FishMed2016) will be held at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) on March 18-19, 2016. IIMCB organizes this event to bring together scientists from the field, share recent advances in research on zebrafish and to present to an international audience the results of the FishMed project. The program will include opening and plenary talks, short oral presentations, poster session, and extensive time for discussions.

FishMed stands for “Fishing for Medicines and their targets using Zebrafish models of human diseases”.
