Abstract
Although the first official assembly of the International Society
for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) was held in
2004, the Society had actually started with its activities in
1997 by organizing the international meeting in forensic
and clinical genetics “First European-American Intensive
Course in PCR Based Clinical and Forensic Testing.” In accordance
with the Society’s mission, the meeting was organized
with an aim to contribute to promoting, improving,
and extending all aspects of research, technological developments,
and education activities and exchanging information
among scientists in applied biological sciences and
related fields.
After the first meeting, ISABS conferences have been organized
biennially and have gathered more than 1800 participants
and 160 lecturers from over 50 countries. Each year
they have become more and more successful in presenting
cutting-edge research from leading authors in the field
and promoting scientific efforts in Croatia and science in
general. In 2003, ISABS established collaboration with the
Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA) and the University of Zagreb
through the approved program “Mayo Clinic College
of Medicine – University of Zagreb International Program
in Advanced Medical Education.” In 2007, the ISABS name
appeared for the first time as the part of the conference
title, in order to make it recognizable as the organizer of
the meetings.
