DearColleagues,
in the context of CIG scientific initiatives and seminars, as well as of its dissemination activity, I'm pleased to inform you that we are organizing an International Interdisciplinary Meeting on "Proteasomesand Lon protease", which will be held in Bologna, July 3rd-4th, 2013 (see the preliminary program below).
The topic chosen for the meeting is very hot and will be addressed with a highly interdisciplinary approach, involving basic biology and medicine, physics, nanoscience, chemistry, computational chemistry, molecular modelling and engineering.
The main invited speakers are top scientists in their respective fields and are coming from different EU countries and USA.
Thus, I'm inviting you to participate and to contribute to the success of this initiative. As usual, participation is free. In order to organize venue and catering please let us know within June 17, 2013, if you will attend the meeting.
Looking forward to see you,
Best regards,
Claudio FranceschiBologna, June 13th 2013
