Dear colleagues and friends,

The Tunisian Society of Physiology and

Environmental Biomonitoring (ATPBE) would
like to invite you to the 4th INTERNATIONAL
CONGRESS

OF

PHYSIOLOGY

AND

ENVIRONMENTAL BIOMONITORING (ATPBE

2015), in Tabarka, Tunisia, between the 20th
and the 23th of December 2015. This will be an
exciting opportunity for scientists, students,
managers, decision-makers, writers, and other
professionals across the globe to participate in
this event.
The Scientific Committee has prepared an exciting scientific program with invited international
expert speakers and opportunities for interactions on additional relevant topics of interest to both
specialist on physiology, toxicology and other scientists (including physiopathology, therapy, natural
compounds, environmental safety and diseases models).
The aim will be to offer a mix of plenary lectures, interactive presentations, poster sessions, a
trade exhibition and plenty of opportunities for networking both formally and informally with
colleagues and friends.
The city of Tabarka is a coastal town in northwestern of Tunisia. The city is overlooked by a rock
on which is built a Genoese fort. The "Needles" of Tabarka are quite impressive, and when standing
in between them they feel really big. Tabarka has been also famous for its coral fishing.
For all these reasons, we shall be looking forward to seeing you in Tabarka in December 2015!!!
On Behalf of the ATPBE
The Scientific Organizing Committee
