The Congress was organised by Serbian Neuroscience Society and Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, National Institute of the Republic of Serbia. On that occasion, researchers in the area of neuroscience from Serbia and abroad gathered together. The participants had opportunity to present their recent work throughout oral and poster presentations. The Congress also offered networking opportunities and fostered debate among participants.

The last day was focused on brain disorders and neuroimmunoendocrine interactions.
Our two PhD students, Jovana Kostić and Ivana Simeunović, presented their posters related to the research of 22q11.2 deletions and duplications, which takes place under the auspices of the STREAMLINE project. Jovana Kostić presented „Genomic and clinical findings in patients with 22q11.2 duplication syndrome“ on June 2nd. Among the submitted abstracts, Ivana Simeunović was chosen for the oral presentation of the scientific work „Analysis of cohort of patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome – a Single-center Experience from Serbia“.
