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.
