| What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : |
Responses to my talking points were full of hope for discovery of good diagnostic and predictive biomarker of acute rejection of renal allografts. Because of our study was the first study that evaluated the expression levels of miR-155 in PBMCs samples of acute rejection patients and our results showed that acute rejection could be diagnosed with the assessments of this miRNA in blood of renal transplant patients, everybody were surprised and they told me congratulation. There were no specific questions or concerns. |

| Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Attending a congress in the Netherlands is expensive, especially when you live on another continent and thus have to travel really far. In the congress, accomodation was very easy. You can choose to either stay with a student, make use of the international Student Accommodation “The Housing Office” or stay at a hostel. |
| Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
ISCOMS – the International Student Congress of (bio)Medical Sciences – is one of the world’s leading student congresses in the (bio)medical sciences. Their scientific programme was included a variety of both professional researchers (keynote lectures) and student researchers (student sessions) from all over the world, presented to an international and professional audience. A pre-course for mastering research, hands-on workshops made ISCOMS an enervating experience! There was about 20 oral sessions spread out over two days. The sessions were divided into different categories to cover different topics and supervised by an experienced researcher in that field together with a student from the ISCOMS organisation. At the end of the session, the session chairs were announced the winner of the session. The Congress was a great experience where I learned many things. |
