The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet has provided funding to arrange this Nobel Minisymposium in 2024 in the series “Frontiers in Medicine”. In 1994 a series of Minisymposia called "Frontiers in Medicine" was started; for previously completed Minisymposia see www.nobelprizemedicine.org.
Minisymposia are held in the Nobel Forum, last one day and are open to free participation. They deal with current topics that bridge preclinical and clinical subject areas.
