3rd Training Course on Concepts and Methods
in Programmed Cell Death
For the third year, a Training Course on
“Concepts and Methods in Programmed Cell Death” is organised on
the first day of the meeting, before the onset of the conference.
The aim of
this training course is to introduce young scientists into the
current concepts, methodologies and tools used in the study of
programmed cell death.
Speakers will present a 45-50 minute seminar,
followed by a 15 minute discussion. The sessions are intended to
provide a general review of the literature, recent techniques and
methodologies in cell death research, in combination with the
opportunity to discuss in a smaller group.
