El Simposio tendrá lugar entre el 5 y el 7 de Noviembre de 2012, en la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Este simposio tiene como propósito vincular a investigadores del European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) con científicos argentinos. En particular, se discutirán avances en Biología Computacional y Estructural, en Neurociencias y en la Regulación de la Expresión Génica y Post-transcripcional. El simposio será gratuito pero con inscripción previa. Para ello podrán consultar la página del evento: https://eventioz.com/embl-en-argentina
En el marco del Simposio se realizará además una actividad especial, destinada a post-docs, “Preparing for the academic job market”, que estaremos anunciando a la brevedad.
Por cualquier consulta, por favor escribir a emblbuenosaires2012@gmail.com
Los esperamos.
