The 3rd Estonian-Latvian Systems Biology Meeting ‘LATEST III’

Tartu, Estonia on December 12th 2018

You are kindly invited to participate in the 3rd Estonian-Latvian Systems Biology Meeting ‘LATEST III’ in Tartu, Estonia on December 12th 2018! This will be the third time after meetings in 2009 in Tartu and 2011 in Tallinn when systems biologists from Estonia and Latvia will meet to present and discuss their latest systems biology activities. As in previous times, both experimental and computational research on different organisms, systems etc. will be covered. We hope the meeting will facilitate fruitful networking between the neighbours and lead into new collaborations!

Sincerely,
Kaspar Valgepea and Egils Stalidzāns
