GIMM - Horizons

A scientist, a medical doctor and a patient are brought together around one same question. 

This is the motto for the Horizons cycle of public talks, born in 2019 as an initiative from the Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes. 

We want society to know about and discuss the discoveries made by GIMM scientists that may impact the future of human health.
