Transgenesis & Wnt meeting in Telč

21. 05. 2014 Event Lecture

Scientific meeting “Gene targeting, genome editing & transgenesis: research application”

We are organizing joint meeting with our colleagues from Masaryk University in Brno dedicated to current progress in transgenic technologies in research application, animal models of diseases and Wnt signalling. The event is part of lecture series under the OP EC project reg. no. CZ.1.07/2.3.00/30.0027 “Founding the Centre of Transgenic Technologies“.

The event venue is hotel Anton in Telč. If you are willing to participate feel free to contact us at e-mail libor.danek@img.cas.cz.
