Seminar Series of Neuroscience - SSN
Spring 2012

Coordinator:

Michael Courtney, Prof 
AIVI / Neurobiology/Molecular Signalling
When?15:00 

Where?

 S22, S24, S25 = locations in intranet
What ?The focus is more on signalling this time around  - last spring the general neuroscience was more in  focus.
Why ?We will have a common seminar between all staff, post-docs and PhD students who are working in neuroscience research on Kuopio campus. This way we hope to create more interaction within the neuroscience community here in Kuopio and to reach a larger audience in the seminars.
