CIPSM Scientific Oktoberfest 2013

Sep 12, 2013

The Scientific Oktoberfest will be this years meeting point for some of the internationally most distinguished researchers in the field of Chemistry & Chemical Biology. The CIPSM Scientific Oktoberfest will be held from the 19th to the 20th of September in the Department of Chemistry of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München. At the two-day conference, 600 researchers from around the world will discuss state-of-the art research in various fields spanning from chemistry to biology and present their latest results in the fight against diseases like cancer or bacterial infections.
