This symposium will bring together researchers from all over the UK interested in purine research. The emphasis of the meeting is to highlight the breadth of purine research in the UK and to stimulate lively discussion and an exchange of ideas. The abstract booklet is available here. These abstracts will be published in the prestigious journal Purinergic Signalling.
We look forward to seeing you in Nottingham! Vera Ralevic & Steve Alexander (Meeting Organisers)
Directions and accommodation information are available here. Any enquiries about the meeting? Email info@ukpurineclub.org.
Note that Sarissa have a workshop on Monday 27th September at the University of Warwick. You can register for the workshop using a pdf or MS-Word document.
