G3 symposium 2013 (Genes, Genetics & Genomics)
First Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University in Prague and Institute of Molecular Genetics of the ASCR will organising one-day symposium dedicated to recent discoveries on physiological as well as pathological cellular and molecular processes. The event will take place at IMG on March 15, 2013. More information and program updates are available at symposium web page.
