18th International Conference on ADP-ribose metabolism
On behalf of the organisation committee, I cordially welcome you to the 18th International Conference on ADP-ribose metabolism with special focus on proteins of the poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) family. The conference offers an interdisciplinary platform for experts and professionals from all over the world to learn about the latest unique scientific progresses and current experimental standards in PARP research, as well as to hear about the recent updates on very promising clinical trials with PARP inhibitors. The conference with the theme “PARP2010” will be held in Zurich, Switzerland during August 18-21, 2010. |
