Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute

The Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (Portuguese: ''Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar''), also known for its acronym ICBAS, is a medical and life sciences graduate school of the University of Porto, named after the Portuguese and local physician Abel Salazar. The Institute teaches medicine – including specialities such as oncology, public health and mental health – as well as marine biology, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, and bioengineering.

On a wall of its main hall, the famous maxim of Abel Salazar can be read: "The one who only knows about Medicine, does not even know about Medicine." Provided by Wikipedia
