On behalf of the Turkish Society of Molecular Medicine, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our III. International Con- gress of Molecular Medicine. The comprehensive scope of our meeting, addressing the interests of physicians, scientists and other healthcare professionals and the industry, may be challeng- ing to all at the same time. We aim to merge our interest in mo- lecular medicine and to establish a link between basic and clini- cal sciences. For the clinician, there is the opportunity to focus on advances in the basic sciences forming the basis of clinical practice. For the scientist, there is a perspective to appreciate the wide-reaching clinical relevance.
