Welcome to the interdisciplinary Cellbiology Symposium 2018!
Venue: KBC, Carl Kempe salen (Stora hörsalen) and KBC Focus environment
Our ambition is to bring together scientists (PhD students, postdocs, research engineers, PIs) that work in different research areas in Umeå but share a common interest in cell biology. The aim of the meeting is to exchange up-to-date knowledge and ideas on fundamental and applied aspects of cell biology as well as novel approaches and techniques that are useful for basic research.
The registration and abstract submission is open now!
Deadline for registration 2nd April 2018!
