One department - Two faculties
Friends of the department please join us in getting a 50 year perspective molecular biology!
We are also welcoming some of our former PhD-students, who now are research group leaders at other Universities in Sweden, to give us glimpses of what lies ahead.
The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) and The National Doctoral Pogramme in Infections and Antibiotics (NDPIA) invite to a series of open lectures which are given in connection to an experimental workshop on "Alternative Infection Models". The lectures are open to all.
WELCOME!
The lectures are given in connection to an experimental workshop on "Alternative Infection Models" funded by the National Doctoral Programme in Infections and Antibiotics (NDPIA) and organized by The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) at Umeå University 22-25 August, 2016.
