MicroRNAs & Single Molecule Biology Europe - 2012 Symposium

Seventh International
MicroRNAs Europe 2012 Meeting

MicroRNAs: Biology to Development and Disease

Second International
Single Molecule Biology Europe 2012 Meeting
on
Molecular Imaging to Single Molecule Analysis

November 1 - 2, 2012
Venue: Peterhouse, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

A Unique Theme Conference & Exhibition in the MicroRNomics & Single Cell Detection

Meeting Place:

The Venue Peterhouse (middle) is the oldest College of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1284 and an institution dedicated to education and research. Throughout its history, Petreans have been at the heart of the political, social and religious controversies that have shaped today’s society. Some of the influential Petreans include: Henry Cavendish, Lord Kelvin, Sir Frank Whittle and Christopher Cockerill, and Nobel Laureates – Sir John Kendrew, Sir Aaron Klug, Archer Martin and Max Perutz , who gave a twentieth century lead in the field of Molecular Biology. Since many centuries it remained as a hub for innovation and successive generations of the brightest young people around the world.

Why do you wait to join for an intellectual gathering in the ‘microRNomics’ & 'Single Moleclue Biology' arenas at the prestigious college Peterhouse in the Premier University campus!
