METABOLON @

European Stroke Organisation Conference
(ESOC) 2024

  • Basel, Switzerland
  • Booth B17
  • May 15 - May 17, 2024

Metabolon is pleased to exhibit at the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2024.

We’re thrilled to announce our participation in the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2024, taking place in Basel, Switzerland. The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) is a pan-European society of stroke researchers and physicians, national and regional stroke societies. The aim of the ESO is to reduce the burden of stroke by changing the way that stroke is viewed and treated, which can only be achieved by professional and public education, and by making institutional changes.

Stroke is a complex neurological condition with diverse metabolic implications. At Metabolon, we specialize in identifying metabolic biomarkers associated with stroke and other neurological disorders. Visit our booth to learn how our metabolomics services can accelerate biomarker discovery and improve patient outcomes. Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or industry professional, we invite you to join us on the forefront of metabolomics innovation.
