The Symposium
The IGC Symposium 2017 is organized by local postdoctoral scientists. This year the focus will be on Plant RNA Biology. Talks will cover wide range of topics from mRNA processing and modifications, through the role of RNA folding to regulation of gene expression by small RNAs and the roles of long non-coding RNAs.
Inspiring Talks
10:00 am
27-28 Sept
Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência
The Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC), located in Oeiras, Portugal, is a multidisciplinary institute, research programs include Cell and Developmental Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Immunology, Host-Pathogen Interactions, Disease Genetics, Plant Biology, Neurosciences, Theoretical and Computational Biology.
The IGC embraces five missions: 1) to promote multidisciplinary science of excellence in basic biological and biomedical research; 2) to identify, educate and incubate new research leaders, providing state-of-the-art facilities and full financial and intellectual autonomy; 3) to provide international graduate teaching and structured training programmes; 4) to improve the transfer of research expertise into developments that are of potential interest beyond basic science; and 5) to promote the values of science in society.
Proud to bring inspirational speakers from across the globe
