Chemical Tools and Challenges in Systems Biology 2011
The RSC Biotechnology Group and the Chemistry Biology Interface Division (CBID) would like to invite you to participate in this exciting one-day symposium, a follow-up to the successful conference with the same title held at GSK, Stevenage in October 2009. The emphasis of the symposium will be on exploring and promoting the synergies that chemical and biological sciences can deliver in the procurement of a deeper understanding of the complexity of biological systems.
