SANTORIO FELLOWSHIP FOR MEDICAL HUMANITIES AND SCIENCE 2018
Institutio Santoriana – Fondazione Comel, in cooperation with the Centre for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance (CSMBR),
announces an international scheme entitled to the Italian
physician Santorio Santori (1561-1636), who introduced the quantitative
method to medicine and is considered the father of experimental
physiology.
