Medical Conference for PhD Students and Experts of Clinical Sciences 15th of May 2021

Dear Doctoral Students, Doctoral Candidates and Young Researchers, I warmly welcome you on the pages of the MedPECS 2021 Conference’s Book of Abstracts. We have been facing a huge challenge over the past year or more because of the coronavirus epidemic. In these difficult times, it is even more important that science seeks answers to the questions that arise, and thanks to scientific efforts we will get through this period and hopefully soon, thanks to science, our lives can get back to normal. But for this to happen, it is essential that certain aspects of scientific life - such as conferences, of which professional discourse is an essential part - continue to take place, maintaining a healthy system of the academic sector. This is what we wish to contribute to this event, which we hope will serve as a starting point for future collaborations, in addition to presenting professional results. One of the cornerstones of these collaborations could be innovation, which is a key element of scientific life. To this end, this year we will seek to bring innovation closer to doctoral students and young researchers, with the help of eminent experts, to facilitate the realisation of new innovative ideas. I am confident that, despite the online format, the conference will be marked by useful and forward-looking work and will lead to professional development for all participants. Finally, I would like to thank all the kind participants of the conference for choosing our event to present their latest research results. I wish you professional success and good health!
