The Academy of Romanian Scientists organizes, on 12 December 2023, at 16:00, the launch event of the “Emil Palade” Centre of Excellence for the initiation of young people in scientific research.
The presentation given at the event “Scientific Innovations in the (Bio)Medical Field Developed to Improve Quality of Life” is an in-depth analysis of contemporary advances in the biomedical field, highlighting the highly beneficial impact that recent scientific innovations are having on the quality of human life. This symposium explores how these innovations are transforming the way healthcare is delivered.
A notable example is smart implants, devices that automatically monitor and regulate human body functions. Gene therapy, by correcting genetic defects, opens new horizons for personalised treatments. Regenerative medicine, through joint replacement and the use of stem cell therapy, contributes significantly to maintaining mobility and quality of life in later life.
These innovations are sources of hope for substantial improvements in human health. What seemed difficult to conceive in the past is now a reality, thanks to the efforts of dedicated researchers around the world. The future promises to bring with it the prospects of a healthier and happier life!

The analysis of the research projects within the AOSR-TEAMS 2022-2023 competition revealed the high quality of the results obtained during their period of implementation, materialized in the large number of papers published and citations obtained, which were rated in the prestigious Web of Science evaluation platform.
As a result, the Presidium of the AOSR has decided that the remaining amount of the budget for the competition, which was reduced following the recent Government Decision, will be awarded in the form of two prizes of 7,100 lei each for the following projects:
We are proud of these young researchers!
We invite you to watch the TVR International programme A doctor for you, whose guest is prof. univ. dr. Horațiu Moldovan, full member of the Romanian Academy of Medical Sciences and corresponding member of the Academy of Romanian Scientists, coordinator of the Cardiac Transplant Program – Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic of the Emergency Clinical Hospital of Bucharest and president of ROMTRANSPLANT.
Recently, at Floreasca, a national premiere for Romanian public hospitals took place: the first EVAR (abdominal aortic stenting for abdominal aortic aneurysm) procedures, with local anaesthesia, under the coordination of Prof. Moldovan, together with surgeons, interventional radiologists and anaesthesiologists. Generally, it is a one-hour procedure with no incisions. The patient remains awake and from the angiography lab goes straight to the ward and can be discharged in two days without requiring recovery.
