24th-25th October 2008
Registration FREE Limited to 100 students on first-come-first basis.
A meeting jointly organized by Indian Institute of Science Education and
Research (IISER), Pune (www.iiserpune.ac.in) and The Graduate University
for Advanced Studies, Japan (www.soken.ac.jp/en)
The lecture workshop is designed for students of Biology who are in advanced stages of graduation or pursuing Masters degree in Biology.
Eminent scientists from India and Japan will take you on a stimulating journey on different paths in biology ranging from neurosciences, DNA repair, developmental biology to mathematical modeling followed by interactive sessions.
The two-day lecture series is a platform to experience the thrill of cutting-edge science and recent opinions in the field.
