This is the conference for folk who want to know what the inside of a cell is
REALLY like - not the mush that appears in a blendor .....
The Fixed Fee (Registration) for the Oxford Conference will be
$675, which includes (covers) lodging and meals for the 5 day conference.
This conference will have two poster sessions - these are always very
well received, and provide a good opportunity to present your work, as
well as interact with others attending the conference. Hope to see you in
Oxford next September.
