NAIST Global COE International Symposium 2008 Cell Signaling

The global COE program "Frontier Bioscience Global Program: Adaptation- and Survival-strategies in a Changing Global Environment" has been started in NAIST 2007. We will have the third International symposium of the COE program in Nobember 13-14, 2008. The symposium will focus on the frontier in biology and international scientists will be giving talks in various fields of biology. You are cordially invited to participate in the symposium.
