Assaying Chemokines and Chemotaxis

 

Friday 8th June 2007 at the BioPark, Welwyn Garden City

 

The meeting will involve presentations from both academia and industry and will give an overview of current techniques employed in the assay of chemokines and chemotaxis in the context of current immunological research.

Chair: Dr James Pease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London
