Finalised Programme for ‘PI3-Kinases in Immunity, Inflammation and Infection’

Finalised Programme for ‘PI3-Kinases in Immunity, Inflammation and Infection’

Finalised Programme for ‘PI3-Kinases in Immunity, Inflammation and Infection’

The Babraham Institute is hosting a one day meeting on Monday 23rd June 2014 from 10am – 6pm on ‘PI3-Kinases in Immunity, Inflammation and Infection’.  The event is open to all research scientists, PhD students, postdocs and PIs with an interest in PI3-kinase research. A plenary lecture will be given by Dr Roger Williams from the MRC-Laboratory of Molecular Biology on ‘The Structure and Function of PI3-Kinase Isoforms.  This lecture will be followed by a series of short talks, poster session and BBQ.
