ON.2 symposium on Cell Homeostasis, Tissue Organization and Organism Biology

We are pleased to announce the ON.2 symposium on Cell Homeostasis, Tissue Organization and Organism Biology that will take place on the 29^th September at the IBMC. This ON.2 symposium will approach a number of different biological problems that include Transcription, Structural biology, Cell division and Organism biology. The opportunity to discuss in a transdisciplinary way these biological problems will help to develop new and more comprehensive explanatory and unifying models of how complex biological systems work.

We hope to see you there.
