Call for Participation to coming symposium
I regret I could not post this article earlier, but the registration
is still open.
[Abstract] The following symposium aims to offer a forum to all the
researchers interested in the total elucidation of signal reception,
transmission, control, and integration mechanisms in the biological
systems.
[Registration] Registration fee is free.
I strongly recommend to register in advance, although you can register
on-site.
Registration desk:
Mr. Osamu Miyamura, Secretariat,
Chief of Research Service Section, NIBH,
1-1 Higashi, Tsukuba-city, Ibaraki, 305 Japan.
