“Spotlight on Cell Biology” is the title of the International Course in Cellular Biology organized by the Institute of Neuroscience (IN) of the CNR (National Research Council) on September 27, 2018 in Bergamo Alta (Auditorium Seminario Vescovile “Giovanni XXIII).
The Pesenti Foundation supported this initiative aimed at disseminating scientific knowledge to make science and its achievements a patrimony of society.
The event consisted of an entire day of talks/meetings open to the general public in which key international personalities from the field of biological/biomedical scientific research intervened. Scholars held a series of educational/training seminars on cell biology with a primary focus on basic and preclinical research. The participation at the event was free and open to researchers, students, and professionals throughout Italy and Europe.
The course was organized as part of the annual meeting of the CNR-Neuroscience Institute which was held from 26 to 28 September in the same place.
