Medical Students of EUC participate in ETS 47th International Annual Meeting in Cologne, Germany
Two 4th year students from the School of Medicine of European University Cyprus, Mr. Zeyad Al-Jazrawi and Miss Ismini Tzanaki were selected by the European Teratology Society (ETS) Council to present their research paper titled: “Poland Syndrome Complicated With Metabolic Syndrome and Gynecomastia”, at the 47th International European Teratology Society Annual Conference in Cologne, Germany.
Their research work was chosen as one of the only four papers selected each year to be presented as both an oral and a poster presentation at the Young Scientists Round Table Symposium. Their research was also published in the ELSEVIER Journal “Reproductive Toxicology” as an extended Abstract following a Peer Review.
The ETS International Society has been established in 1971 to bring together embryologists, reproductive toxicologists, pediatric pathologists, epidemiologists and clinicians to focus on the causes and prevention of birth defects. The core objectives of the International Society are to stimulate interest in and promote the exchange of ideas and inform about the causes and prevention of adverse effects on reproduction and development.
