WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE CICS-UBI COORDINATOR
Dear researchers,I am pleased to send the invitation for you to attend the XIX International CICS-UBI Symposium, which will be held on 16-17 July 2024.
The Symposium is a unique opportunity for younger researchers to present their work, and an important venue to foster interdisciplinarity as well as development of internal and externall collaborations.
Now back to its original on-site format, the CICS-UBI symposium will be held at Grande Auditório FCS of the University of Beira Interior, in Covilhã, Portugal. This will be a wonderful opportunity to discuss results, Science in general, and to plan novel research.
The programme of the Symposium is quite exciting and posters, oral communications and main lectures will hopefully draw everyone’s attention and promote ample discussion. Awards will be given to the best communications in each category.
We look forward to your invaluable contributions and your attendance at the meeting.
Looking forward to meeting you at the XIX International CICS-UBI Symposium!

XIX International CICS-UBI Symposium
22 Years os CICS-UBI!
19 Years of Sharing Science!
And 19 years have passed since the first edition, for which I was responsible as its mentor. This year the symposium returns to its initial principles, leaving its comfort zone (i.e., facilities at the Faculty of Health Sciences) and moving to the amphitheater for the solemn sessions-Pólo I. The objective is greater concentration and presence during the sessions.
It is open to the entire scientific community, with themes within the CICS-UBI research areas: Biopharmaceuticals and Biomaterials; Drug Discovery, Development and Safety; Natural Products & Microbial Research; Neurologic and Neurovascular Disorders; Hormones and Metabolism and Respiratory and Allergic Diseases.
The symposium is always a high point in the life of CICS-UBI, where “new blood boils”, and where the most recent ones can show and discuss their results at the highest level. I have no doubt that this will be an extraordinary edition, as coordinator I can only thank all the teams, participants, and support from the vice-rector for research, CICS-UBI and UBI.
On the other hand, the social and cultural program has been enriched so that everyone can participate. Welcome everyone.
To all, I wish you a good symposium
Eduardo Cavaco - Chairman
Vice-Coordinator of CICS-UBI
