Venue
and dates
:
The third Lipidomics meeting of the GERLI (Lipid bioscience section of the
French Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) will be held at
Marseille, France, from May 10 to 12, 2006. The conferences will take
place at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique campus (31
chemin Joseph Aiguier) in the southern
area of a city where the Mediterranean sea and the biochemistry of
lipids and lipolytic enzymes have met more than fifty years ago.
Access
to the meeting place
This GERLI conference is
organised with the support of the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Euro Fed Lipid).
