February 26th, 2009
Hamilton Institute, NUI Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland
.
Organizers: Wilhelm Huisinga, Max von Kleist, Rick Middleton, Jorge dos Santos Ferreira
Aim: To give an opportunity for different researchers from the greater Dublin area and beyond to have a chance to meet, discuss, and gain new research contacts/collaborators in the area of HIV/AIDS.
Speakers & Talks: We anticipate a heterogeneous audience with mixed backgrounds in mathematics, systems biology, immunology, medicine etc. We appreciate, if speakers keep this in mind when preparing their talks, which are scheduled 20min + 10min discussion.
Registration and Fees: For catering purposes, we kindly ask participants to register by sending an email to Kate Moriarty (Kate.M.Moriarty@nuim.ie). There are no registration fees.
