Dear Colleagues
 
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the IFCC Worldlab 2014 Congress in Istanbul, a city of great beauty and diverse cultures, on 22-26 June, 2014, hosted by the Turkish Biochemical Society.

Distinguished colleagues throughout the world will come together in what promises to be a very interesting, fruitful event, very relevant to today’s ever changing global reality.

With the collaboration of International Scientific Committee and International Advisory Scientific Board, in addition to plenary lectures, symposia, oral and poster presentations, we believe that this Congress will provide a cutting-edge educational and scientific experience, focussing on the latest developments in Biochemistry. 

Also, the first time in the history of International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), the contribution of the other worldwide and regional sister federations such as: World Association of Societies of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (WASPaLM), American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), Latin America Confederation of Clinical Biochemistry (COLABIOCLI), European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM), Balkan Clinical Laboratory Federation (BCLF), African Federation of Clinical Chemistry (AFCC), Arab Federation of Clinical Biology (AFCB) and Asia-Pacific Federation for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine (APFCB), with a Symposium, will make the Congress the most important scientific event of the world. 

With the support of the industry, we hope to accomplish a successful organization, both scientifically and socially. 

Istanbul’s new and state of the art congress center, Istanbul Congress Center (ICC) will be hosting us for this Congress. It is located within the heart of the “Congress Valley” downtown and conveniently in walking distance to all major hotels as well as shopping centers, restaurants and night life district.

A vibrant social program will provide an opportunity to explore the fascinating city of Istanbul and other highlights of modern and historic Turkey. Istanbul keeps a distinguished place among the world metropolises, assigned to keep the two continents together with its cultural heritage spanning thousands of years. As one of the most energetic cities in the world, Istanbul continually grows as a center of attraction, representing a contrast in harmony.

My very best wishes, and we are looking forward to meeting you in Istanbul in June 2014. Just reserve your dates and join us where the continents meet!
