Tsinghua MRC LMB Symposium

Overview

Overview

On July 10^th we will host a one day mini-symposium with speakers from the LMB and Tsinghua University.  The symposium completes an undergraduate summer school being run in Cambridge and its goal is to strengthen the bonds between the LMB and our Chinese colleagues.

The event is kindly sponsored by the Journal of Cell Science.  It will be in the MPLT and open to all members of the LMB.  Tea/coffee and pastries will be provided in the morning break.  If you would like to attend, please register below.

There are 2-3 slots available for short talks.  If you would like to be considered for one of these please write to Andrew Carter (cartera@mrclmb.ac.uk).  We are also looking for people to host Tsinghua undergraduate students at lunch.  Please let Guoling Fu (gfu@mrclmb.cam.ac.uk) know if you can help.
