The present year marks the 90th anniversary of the beginnings of the Department of Applied Pharmacy, established by Prof. Marek Gatty-Kostyàl and later transformed into the JU MC Chair in Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics – the oldest such unit in Poland. A Jubilee session in Collegium Novum is to be held on first day of the anniversary celebrations, whereas the second day will feature an academic session in a modern Conference Centre of the JU MC Faulty of Medicine at ul. św. Łazarza 16.
