Welcome from the Chairs
The Italian Society of Environmental Medicine (SIMA) and the University "Gabriele d'Annunzio" of Chieti-Pescara are glad to present the first International Conference of Environmental Medicine addressing the impacts of environmental exposures on human health in an epigenetic perspective.
The choice of University of Chieti as conference venue is not a case, as it is internationally recognized in the field of epigenetics.
We are waiting for you in Italy to start changing the world by starting to change the way we look at medicine.
