Jointly organized by IFCC - International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, EFLM - European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine and SIBioC - Italian Society of Clinical Biochemistry and Clinical Molecular Biology.
 

The most important international event for laboratory medicine and clinical chemistry will take place in Rome at the futuristic Congress Center “La Nuvola” and will see Werfen among its most active supporters.

As a “silver sponsor” of Euromedlab 2023, we look forward to meeting customers and partners from around the world at our booth located at nr. 52 of the large exhibition area, to illustrate our innovative diagnostic solutions.

As an active player in scientific knowledge, Werfen will promote two educational sessions that will take place during the event and to which we invite you to participate: 
 

May 22 - Lunch Workshop

1:00 pm-2:00 pm | Room 3
