Calcium Signalling

Gordon Research Conference

July 24 - 29, 2005
Chair Colin W. Taylor
Vice Chair Indu Ambudkar

Conference Description

This popular GRC, held every 2 years and alternating between the USA and Oxford, is to be held in Oxford in 2005. Sessions cover the entire filed of Ca2+ signalling and follow the usual, and very successful, GRC format. There are 3 talks in each of the morning and evening sessions, daily poster sessions, a selected poster presentation in each of the oral sessions, and keynote lecture from Katsuhiko Mikoshiba on the final evening.
