2nd Regensburg - Canberra Symposium on RNP Biology
The Second Regensburg - Canberra Symposium on RNP Biology will foster collaborative interactions bewteen RNA researchers from both locations and help to form the basis of a joint international PhD student program.
All interested are welcome to attend.
