Sep'12 SYSMED 2012

Thu, 20 September, 2012

The SYSMED 2012 Organising Committee would like to thank all participants, sponsors and presenters for their tremendous support of the conference and for their contributions which helped make the event a success. The conference brought together an outstanding group of speakers from around the world who delivered a series of inspiring and exciting talks. We hope you enjoyed not just the academic sessions and discussions but also the social programme which we planned for you. We are happy to announce that members of the Programme Committee are putting together a Mini-Review Series for the FEBS Journal based on the conference, the publication of which is planned for the first quarter of 2013.

Please feel free to share in our memories of SYSMED 2012 by visiting our photo gallery. A copy of the programme booklet is also available for download here. All enquiries, including requests for attendance certificates, can be directed to systemsbiology@ucd.ie 

To all our committee members, session chairs, review panels and volunteers we cannot thank you enough. Without your hard work and encouragement, SYSMED would not have been possible.
