A Biochemical Society Focused Meeting
Meeting background
Microvesiculation and disease, 2012, will bring together researchers in biomedicine to discuss the burgeoning field of microvesicles and exosomes. The specific emphasis will be the role they play in cancer, development and infectious and autoimmune disease, but will also look to new therapies targeting the microvesicle and exosome communication system.
Topics:
- Autoimmune disease and microvesicles
- Infectious disease and microvesicles
- Genetics and microvesicles
- Cancer and microvesicles
Reviews by the speakers, based on their presentations at this major international meeting, will be published exclusively in
Biochemical Society Transactions (Volume 41, part 1).
Abstract deadline: EXTENDED to 23 July 2012.
Abstract submission is now closed but if you would still like to submit an abstract please email the Conference Office conferences@biochemistry.org.
Earlybird registration deadline: EXTENDED TO 24 August 2012.
