Sažetak
The International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) is the non-profit organization founded with the aim to promote, improve and extend research, new developments and education in the fields of applied biological sciences especially in the area of clinical and molecular medicine, molecular biology (genetics, genomics, and proteomics), forensic sciences and biotechnology. Although the first official assembly of the ISABS was held in 2004, the society has actually started with its activities in 1997 by organizing the international meeting in forensic ad clinical genetics: First European – American Intensive Course in PCR Based Clinical and Forensic Testing. Also, in order to make the ISABS recognizable as the organizer of these meetings, for the first time the ISABS name will appear as the part of the conference title. Therefore, new title for the conference is "5th ISABS Conference in Forensic Genetics and Molecular Anthropology". Along the organization of scientific meetings, during the past years the Society has become a respectable source of prominent young scientist that are continually giving a huge contribution to the promotion and advancement in the various fields of applied biomedical sciences both in Croatia and abroad. The basic principle activities of ISABS include: a) participation in advancement of educational system activities concerning biological sciences, especially in a field of clinical medicine, molecular genetics, forensic sciences and biotechnology ; b) creation of collaborative relationship and cooperation with other scientific, academic and professional associations, both at home and worldwide to facilitate comprehensive communication and share of ideas and up to date knowledge ; c) organization of education and training opportunities in the form of conferences, seminars, work shops, symposiums and lecture series at local, national and international levels in order to promote and upgrade transfer of knowledge between the scientific members, and intensify fundamental, applied and progressive research in various fields of applied biological sciences ; d) provision of funds and professional exchange-visiting programs for short and long term educations and trainings of outstanding young and senior scientists in prominent institutions worldwide e) publishing the scientific, educational and informative papers, books and manuals to empower members and wider community with relevant and timely information on a variety of scientific, technical and other related topics and provide the information concerning the goals and activities of the society. At this moment, some of ISABS members are involved in few very interesting projects such us DNA identification of skeletal remains from the Second World War in Slovenia and DNA population study on ancient bone samples in Croatia.
