UNIK Synthetic Biology meeting 2010

Following the SynBio Workshop in August, the UNIK Synthetic Biology project will now host the third meeting this year.

The meeting will take place at LIFE Faculty, Thorvaldsensvej 40, Auditorium A2-70.04. Building 2-70, Frederiksberg, Copenhagen on November 4, 2010.
It will be a full day arrangement followed by a dinner.
