Philippine Society for Cell Biology 5th Annual and 13th International Conference

Cells and the Path to Recovery

The Philippine Society for Cell Biology (PSCB) international conference is a gathering of educators, researchers, scientists, students and cell biology enthusiasts.  It will showcase the most recent developments in research on cell recovery and repair. The body's capacity to heal itself after an illness or damage is astounding. Various chemical and biological processes as well as reactions take place during the healing process. Currently, there is a need to better comprehend the underlying mechanisms that play a role in the process of a disease's recovery. Thus, the conference will also place a strong emphasis on immunological responses in addition to cellular and molecular therapy alternatives.
