The German capital will be the gathering place of renowned scientists, internationally acclaimed and leading scholars as well as ISCBFM members to discuss the latest advances and novel discoveries for better understanding of brain function under physiological and pathological conditions through basic, translational, and clinical investigation.

The International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism (ISCBFM) is organized to operate exclusively for the purpose of promoting the advancement of education in the science of cerebral blood flow and metabolism throughout the world. The 28th edition of ISCBFM biannual conference will be held in Berlin on 1-4 April 2017 featuring numerous aspects within the area of neuroscience research, particularly those related to brain function and metabolism, cerebral blood flow, the function of the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier, brain imaging, brain repair, and cerebrovascular pathology.

Berlin’s richly textured history mesmerizes anyone keen to explore its vibrant culture, cutting-edge architecture and tangible history. Separated by a wall for decades and reunified in 1989, Berlin is like a 3D history textbook which reflects vividly the past. Berlin is the hotspot for medical history as well.
In 2010, the Charité, Berlin’s university hospital and medical school celebrated its 300 birthday. Names like Hermann von Helmholtz, Rudolf Virchow, or Cécile and Oscar Vogt have been pioneers of modern neuroscience.
