3rdSymMolBio 2018: 3rd International Symposium on Advances in Molecular Biology of Plants and Health Sciences Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology (CEMB), Lahore - Pakistan Lahore, Pakistan, December 19-21, 2018

On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd International Symposium on "Advances in Molecular Biology of Plants and Health Sciences" will be held from 19 to 21 December, 2018 at Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology (CEMB), Lahore, Pakistan. IntSymMolBio is organized by the Centre at regular intervals.

This time IntSymMolBio 2018 will provide an ideal academic platform for life science researchers to present the latest research findings and describe emerging technologies, and directions in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. This event will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars in the domain of interest from around the world. If you are a post graduate student or early career scientist, then it is the best opportunity to seek and build effective collaborations with peers of your field. And if you are a peer, you would definitely find some young enthusiastic researchers to work with. There would also be great showcasing of commercially viable ideas, so entrepreneur and investors are highly encouraged to participate.

The symposium seeks contributions for presentation of novel research results in all aspects of both plant and health aspects of Molecular research.
