GeneExpression Systems of USA and University of Cambridge of UK
Jointly Presents
Third International
MicroRNAs Europe 2008 Meeting
on
MicroRNAs: Biology to Development and Disease
November 3 - 4, 2008
Venue: Peterhouse, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
A Unique Theme Conference & Exhibition in the MicroRNomics!
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’ arena at the prestigious college Peterhouse in the Premier University campus!
