About the Venue
Welcome to the IFPA 2027 / XII SLIMP Meeting in Mérida!
In Mérida, the heart of Yucatán, where Maya culture keeps its roots and traditions alive, we come together to explore new horizons in science.
Inspired by Ix Chel, the Maya deity associated with medicine, midwifery, and weaving, we find in the placenta —known in Maya as Yibnel— an extraordinary tapestry where two distinct lives come together to make new life possible.
Under the theme “Placenta: Where Life Is Woven” — “Yibnel: tu’ux ku jiit’ le kuxtal”, we warmly welcome you to IFPA 2027 and XII SLIMP, where science and culture come together to weave the future of placental research.
