Zlecone: "Scientific Oktoberfest" draws the worldwide leading researchers in the field of Chemical Biology to Muenich

Muenich, Germany - The "Scientific Oktoberfest" will be this years meeting point for some of the internationally most distinguished researchers in the field of Chemical Biology. The so-called "CIPS(M) Fest of Chemical Biology" will be held from the 15TH to the 16TH of September in the Department of Chemistry of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) Muenchen.

At the two-day conference, 400 researchers from around the world will discuss state-of-the art research in various fields spanning from chemistry to biology and present their latest results in the fight against diseases like cancer or bacterial infections.
