Uzhhorod University will be represented at the conference by:
Nadiia Boiko — Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Medico-Biological Disciplines of UzhNU. The professor will moderate two scientific and educational symposia and present reports devoted to new directions in microbiome-associated medicine, the relationship of PTSD with the microbiome and immunometabolic disorders, and the mechanisms of evidence-based action of modern enterosorbents.
Svitlana Burmei — Doctor of Philosophy in specialty 091 “Biology and Biochemistry”, research officer, associate professor of the Department of Medico-Biological Disciplines of UzhNU. She will speak as a co-presenter of the topic “PTSD beyond psychiatry: microbiome, immunometabolic disorders and new prospects for personalised medicine”, and will also moderate a symposium devoted to current news in the field of microbiome-associated medicine.
