Visit of Dr. A. Stark, Research Institute of Molecular Pathology, Austria

This message is sent on behalf of Liam Keegan

Dear colleagues,

I would like to let you know about a great opportunity to meet Dr. Alexander Stark from the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology, Austria.

Dr. Stark is giving a lecture at MU Life Sciences seminar this week on Thursday the 11th of April at 4 p.m. at pavilion A11, room 132:

"Decoding Transcriptional Regulation in Drosophila"

His research is focused on genome-wide analyses on promoters, transcription, and RNA and DNA binding proteins.

I am hosting him and would like to organize his visit. In his program, there is room for discussions and meetings with scientists from MU. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting Dr. Stark.

With best regards

Liam Keegan
