Session D - NSBM Spring meeting 2015

The Netherlands Society on Biomolecular Modelling (NSBM) cordially invites you to visit its spring meeting, a topical track of the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Conference 2015 (BioSB 2015) on May 20, 2015. During several parallel sessions, the floor will be given to PhD students and postdocs who study protein structure and/or structural bioinformatics or related topics (see a list below).

Speakers and attendees will have the opportunity to join the BioSB 2015 activities and visit keynote lectures.
 

Wednesday May 20, 11:00 - 12:30 - Room Azie

Registration

Registration should be done via the BioSB 2015 registration form. Registration for the conference (for one day/May 20) includes: participation to conference on May 20, lunch, coffee/tea during breaks and internet access. For participating in the evening programme (poster session & conference dinner) an extra fee has to be paid.

Should a lack of funding be a hurdle for visiting the NSBM Spring meeting, please contact prof. Gert Vriend at gerrit.vriend@radboudumc.nl so that an arrangement can be made.
