Hot Topics and Advances in Plant Cell Biology
We are excited to invite you to the mini-symposium "Hot Topics and Advances in Plant Cell Biology". It wil be held to celebrate the 65th birthday of our colleague Viktor Žárský who was the head of our Laboratory of Cell Biology for many years.
This one-day event will take place in Prague at the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The mini-symposium will feature presentations by leading European plant cell biologists who will share their latest findings with us.
You can also join the event virtually via Zoom at https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/91563666511.
Date and time: Wednesday, 3 May 2023, lectures start at 9:50.
Place: Institute of Experimental Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences, Rozvojová 263, Prague 6, the Library room (building B1, 1st floor).
