Hi! My name is Matheus Negri and I am a sixth-year medical student from Brazil. I
want to become an infectious disease doctor. Love all kind of researches, I could say I
am a science freak haha. Love reading classical books, doing sports, especially
CrossFit and hiking, and love an ice cold beer from time to time!

Hi, my name is Catherine Nyirenda from Malawi, Africa. I am a registered pharmacist and currently working at a community pharmacy. I got the opportunity to be a presenting participant of ISCOMS 2022 , where I presented my Undergrad Research project titled; Physiochemical properties of oil from Malawian Jatropha Curcas. It was a very enriching experience to present my research in front of an enthusiastic international crowd. I am an ISCOMS 2023 Ambassador in Malawi. ISCOMS is a good platform to network with people from across the globe. Expanding learning horizons through workshops, key-note sessions etc. I highly encourage others to give it a shot if given the chance .

Hi! I am Ryan, a 3rd Year Graduate-Entry medical student at Oxford University! Before starting my graduate studies here in Oxford, I was at Cambridge for my undergraduate degree where I focused on Neuroscience. I actually started one of my research interests in Cambridge, which involves building digital neuroanatomical models for medical education. We look to transform physical lab specimens (such as full brains), into digital models using the process of photogrammetry. I was fortunate enough to present this work last year at ISCOMS 2022! Outside of medicine, I play guitar in a band and write and produce some of my own music. I also enjoy playing football and basketball, and running the student social events for the Oxford Clinical School.

Hello! My name is Pia and I am currently a first-year Biochemistry PhD student at the University of Cambridge. I attended ISCOMS for the first time in 2022, where I presented my MSc thesis discussing both the laboratory and epidemiological work I had conducted about the relationship between arsenic exposure and prostate cancer development.

I am extremely passionate about science, research and medicine and this is why I became an ISCOMS ambassador in order to provide information, inspire and help students who would like to be a part of ISCOMS 2023. ISCOMS was my first ever congress and it was an extremely inspirational and fantastic experience, not only to connect with like-minded individuals, but to share our common love and passion for science. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions and hope to see you all very soon at ISCOMS 2023!

Hello everyone! My name is Gabryella Aquino. I’m from Brazil and I am now a fifth-year medical student in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I am happy to be there to promote this amazing congress, so if you have questions please do not hesitate to ask them.

Hey everyone! I am Dev Patel, currently an Intern at Smt. N.H.L. Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, India. ISCOMS 2020 opened the door for me to conduct my first ever research and present it at an international level. The pandemic had other plans and ISCOMS 2020 was conducted online. Despite that, the experience was unparalleled and I got to witness some of the most brilliant minds and their work, which paves way for future advancements in medicine. ISCOMS does the work of bringing the medical community together at one place, and that too in such a beautiful way! I encourage every student to experience what ISCOMS has to offer.

Hey! I am Rizana Riyaz and I was a participant of the ISCOMS 2018, 2019 and 2021 and the IRF 2018. I am an MBBS graduate from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, MAHE, India. ISCOMS was one of the best experiences of my entire career as a medical student. The congress is a once in a lifetime experience and made me realize the various options in research I can possibly take up. Three weeks
spent at ISCOMS 2018 and IRF 2018 was truly a ‘Science beyond Borders’ experience for me. ISCOMS 2019 was also an excellent opportunity to learn and explore new things. I promise you will have a wonderful time and would 100 percent recommend attending ISCOMS to anyone interested in research and networking. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

I’m Arpit Kothari, from India. I am qualified medical doctor and completed my undergraduate from NHL Medical College, Ahmedabad and now opting for my specialization in the upcoming month in India only. I was part of ISCOMS thein last two years and I really loved the experience. My experience presenting my oral presentation in the pharmacology session of ISCOMS gave me the realisation that,
how seemingly conference can be arranged and even in the times of COVID how well you organize an event. I decided to be part of and promote conference like this from that day onwards. Very excited to be part of the ambassador team and promote the congress!

Hi! My name is Orsolya Kiss and i’m from Hungary.  i’ve graduated from Medical School this summer and have started my PhD training at the Department of Physiology.

This is Mobin Azami from Kurdistan, Iran, a 5th-year medical student and researcher at Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences. Attending ISCOMS was an excellent experience, and I had a chance to present my poster last year. Interesting topics with outstanding researchers from all around the world will make ISCOMS the best for participating. I hope you all have the chance to attend this fantastic event. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. See you at ISCOMS 2023!

Hi! I am a 5th-year medical student at Bukovinian State Medical University (Chernivtsi, Ukraine). From my experience, I can tell that visiting a biomedical Congress like ISCOMS is not only a great way to represent your work on an international level, but also, you’ll get to meet new people, expand the range of student communication (it will come in handy one day, believe me), and it‘s a nice excuse to travel and visit amazing countries. Having (finally) visited ISCOMS 2022 physically, I fell in love with the Congress. Whether it was the City of Groningen, people (i.e. the Organizing Committee), or the Congress itself, when leaving, I had a feeling I was forgetting something. Probably, a part of my heart.
I hope to see you at ISCOMS 2023! If you have any questions or just want to chat, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hello everyone. My name is Camila, I am a medical doctor from the University of Antioquia in Colombia, and I am currently doing my PhD at the University Medical Center Groningen, in the department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The first time I participated in ISCOMS was in 2019 when I was a medical student, and that experience completely changed my life! I believe that participating in ISCOMS and ISCOMS Research Fellowship (IRF) fuelled my professional growth in a way that I had never imagined, since, ultimately, it was the bridge for me to return to the Netherlands
as a PhD. I hope to meet you soon and share our stories!

I was born and brought up in India. I travelled to Ukraine to study in a medical school. Unfortunately because of war I had to come back to my home country. But I will never stop learning about medicine and explore its new eras of changing patterns in our day to day life. I have participated in ISCOMS2022 June virtual congress which laid a path to get acquainted with medicine in an innovative way. Thus I would like to promote and be a part of it next year in person hopefully. Being a final year medical student this would be my best experience overall. Also I would like to state that I will be moving to Uzbekistan to complete my final year in December. As my medical school of Ukraine had a bilateral relationship with Uzbek, I had to complete my final year offline. Looking forward to the meetings with ISCOMS co-workers and I wish to be a part of ISCOMS 2023 and to create it a historic event which will be a memorable one for a life time. THANK YOU.

Hello everyone! I am Ruchi Jani, final year Medical student from Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, India. I got the opportunity to attend ISCOMS 2021 as well as ISCOMS 2022 as a presenting participant. The congress gives you the opportunity to present your research to an international platform. From keynote lectures by Nobel laureates, amazing workshops, incredible research presentations to the social nights, ISCOMS 2022 was the best experience. I was also selected for an IRF and during those three weeks in Groningen, I got to interact with people from various other countries and got to learn the statistics software.

I am Dr Oguttu Benson, a practising medical doctor and clinical researcher passionate about both clinical and biomedical research. My first ISCOMS encounter was back in 2019, when I heard about ISCOMS through a friend. It has now been 3 years since becoming an ISCOMS ambassador. I love the fact that there is so much exchange of knowledge during ISCOMS, and the social programme is something you never want to miss. The beautiful city of Groningen will always leave you wanting to get there again. If you want any information about ISCOMS, please contact me.

I am Beyza, from Ankara, Turkey. I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey in July 2022. Then I started my first job as a doctor in the emergency department at Develi Hospital. I passed the specialty exam and I started my new job in thoracic surgery at Ankara City Hospital last week. When I first searched the ISCOMS page, I wanted to become an ambassador. This congress is very well organized, I think it would be perfect if more students were aware of this organization in my university, city, and country. I was really impressed by this event. Even the ISCOMS 2021 digital congress was very beautiful and impressive. ISCOMS 2022 was also prepared very effectively and professionally. I presented two years at this gorgeous student congress. This is perfect for my progress, I would like to thank ISCOMS for the privileges given to me in this regard. It is a pleasure for me to be a part of the congress for two years. I had the opportunity to meet many new students. It is very important for me to meet other students from ISCOMS.
