International School Of Advanced Molecular Biomedicine


	7th Course
	Advanced Molecular Systems BioMedicine And Complex Pathological Phenotypes Catania, Italy, June 18-20, 2014 Aula Magna of the Scuola Superiore di Catania *Aula Pero* of Policlinico, Catania**

	Wassily Kandinsky: In the Blue – 1925
	Characterisation of the molecular bases of wild-type and pathological phenotypes is one of the most important topics in contemporary Molecular BioMedicine. It will allow to understand complex biological processes, including the molecular determinants of cells and organisms identity. The seventh course of the Advanced School of BioMolecular and Complex Systems BioMedicine will focus on neoplastic and degenerative diseases: these pathological phenotypes will be exploited as experimental models to demonstrate how much Genome Projects have impacted on contemporary scientific research in BioMedicine and BioTechnology and have profoundly modified our vision of Nature.
