The 4th KeyLab International Conference "Experimental and Computational Approaches in Molecular Medicine"
The 4th International Conference organised by the VNU Key Laboratory for Multiscale Simulation of Complex Systems "Experimental and Computational Approaches in Molecular Medicine" will take place from 14th to 16th October 2024 at the VNU University of Science in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The purpose of this conference is to facilitate the exchange of recent achievements in the field of molecular medicine, to promote active collaborations and, most importantly, to expose young researchers in Vietnam to cutting-edge, molecular-level biomedical research. This conference was planned for 2020, but it could not take place because of the Corona pandemic.
Venue
Room 418, building T1, University of Science, Vietnam National University, 334 Nguyen Trai street, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi.
