The Arctic Biophysics Meeting on Epigenetics and Chromosome Dynamics
January 21, 2019 - January 24, 2019
We warmly welcome you to north of the arctic circle to participate in The Arctic Biophysics Meeting on Epigenetics and Chromosome Dynamics. At the meeting we will bring together scientists — experimental and theoretical — from statistical and polymer physics, molecular biology, and epigenetics to discuss open problems at the interface between physics and biology. To take best advantage the artic surroundings while meeting new people, we will visit the ice hotel, help organise winter activities, and have dinner at the Aurora Sky Station. As the meeting is a part of a Swedish-Korean exchange program funded by STINT and NRF, we’re happy to host a large crowd of Korean researchers.
Participants, register here. Deadline: December 7th, 2018.
