U Beogradu se od 12–14. septembra 2022. godine odr žava XXII Srpski kongres medicinske biohemije i labo ratorijske medicine sa međunarodnim učešćem, u organizaciji Društva medicinskih biohemičara Srbije i Farmaceutskog fakulteta u Beogradu. Tradicionalno u toku Kongresa biće održan i 16th Belgrade Symposium for Balkan Region. Kongres se održava pod pokroviteljstvom Međunarodne federacije za kliničku hemiju i laboratorijsku medicinu – IFCC (International Fede ration of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine), Evropske federacije za kliničku hemiju i laboratorijsku medicinu – EFLM (European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine) i Balkanske kliničko laboratorijske federacije – BCLF (Balkan Clinical Laboratory Federation), kao i Ministarstva prosvete i nauke i tehnološkog razvoja i Ministarstva zdravlja Republike Srbije.

XXII kongres medicinske biohemije i laboratorijske medicine posvećen je inovacijama i trendovima koji će oblikovati budućnost laboratorijske dijagnostike. Fokus predavanja je na novom konceptu upravljanja kvalitetom u medicinskim laboratorijama, organizaciji eksterne kontrole kvaliteta u laboratorijama, upravljanjem preanalitičkim i analitičkim greškama. Posebna pažnja biće posvećena dijagnostici i lečenju korišćenjem nove generacije laboratorijskih metoda u personalizovanoj medicini, savremenim trendovima u labo ratorijskoj medicini, kao i u proceni rizika kod metaboličkih i endokrinih poremećaja. Kongres će se baviti i drugim aspektima našeg profesionalnog angažova nja, kao što je akreditacija u medicinskim laboratorijama i procena rizika u oblasti bezbednosti hrane.

Zadovoljstvo nam je što će se na XXII kongresu medicinske biohemije i laborato rijske medicine i 16th Belgrade Symposium for Balkan region predstaviti istaknuti naučnici i la boratorijski profesionalci iz susednih zemalja. Takođe, na sekciji »Forum mladih istraživača«, studentima doktorskih studija, mladim istraživačima i struč njacima iz laboratorija biće omogućena razmena iskustva i ideja kao i uspostavljanje baze za buduću saradnju.

Organizacija Kongresa rezultat je angažovanja i zalaganja svih članova Naučnog i Organizacionog odbora. Nadamo se da će ponuđeni program ispuniti vaša očekivanja, da ćete uzeti aktivno učešće u diskusiji, i da ćete kroz razmenu iskustava obogatiti svoja zna nja, što bi bilo od nesumnjive koristi za našu svakodnevnu laboratorijsku praksu.

Takođe, iskreno se nadamo da će Beograd, drevni grad na dve reke biti dobar i interesantan domaćin.

Iznad svega, želimo vam uspešan rad i prijatan boravak.
