Congress of students of biomedical sciences of Serbia

After a three-year break due to the bad epidemiological situation, the 61st Congress of Students of Biomedical Sciences of Serbia with international participation was held from April 25 to 29 this year. It is the largest student congress of its kind in our country. Every year, the Congress gathers students who present their scientific research papers in the field of biomedicine. With the help and through cooperation with the mentor, they decide on the field and subject from which they want to write the paper and start research.
Organized by the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Belgrade, this year's participants were 13 faculties with over 1000 students.
For four days, as long as the congress lasted, the central part of the day were sessions in which students exhibited their works. Between them, students had the opportunity to participate in over 15 workshops on various topics every day, where they could hear useful advice and stories from professors and doctors.
 
This year's participants were also our scholarship holders Mladen Hadži Makunčević from the Medical Faculty of the Military Medical Academy of the University of Defense in Belgrade and Aleksandar Milenković from the Medical Faculty of the University of Prishtina with a temporary headquarters in Kosovska Mitrovica.
 
Scholars share their experiences with us.

Mladen Hadži Makunčević: "My work dealt with the most common symptomatology and the way of dealing with the consequences of acute abuse of non-standard psychoactive substances. Due to the growing presence and abuse, in this way psychoactive substances without standard tests for drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana, amphetamines, are negative. I presented the data of my institution, which is also the national center for poison control. "

Aleksandar Milenković: "Due to the devastating statistics that follow the Republic of Serbia in the last few years in the number of cervical cancer patients, my mentor Prof. Vitković and I tried to prove the connection between HPV infection and premalignant and malignant lesions at the cellular level. The main goal was to apply scientific facts for the purpose of prevention, early diagnosis and saving women's lives.
I believe that the subject of my work is molecular biomarkers, the future of preventive medicine.
The Congress brought me new knowledge, experiences and acquaintances, which is the most valuable part of it. "
