ON.2 Host-Pathogen Interactions Meeting

ON.2 – O Novo Norte – North Portugal Regional Operational Programme 2007/2013 – is a financial instrument, which supports regional development in the North of Portugal (NUTSII). It is part of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) 2007/2013 and of the new cycle of the European Union structural funding for Portugal. IBMC applied to this programme with the Host- Pathogen Interactions project through which 10 postdoctoral researchers were hired.

With the first ON.2 Host-Pathogen Interactions meeting, the recent hired post-docs intend to present and discuss their projects and some preliminary data with the IBMC community.
