Oslo University Hospital research seminar Monday May 9th Discovery of biologically active small molecular compounds
Welcome to the next Oslo University Hospital (OUH) research seminar entitled
"Discovery of biologically active small molecular compounds"
Time: Monday, May 9th, 2016, at 14:30 16:10.
Place: Red Auditorium, Rikshospitalet, Sognsvannsveien 20, Oslo.
Speakers: Kjetil Taskén, Phil Gribbon, Anne Jorunn Stokke, Jarl Underhaug, Jeanette H. Andersen, Geir Klinkenberg and Lina Prasmickaite
NOR-Openscreen is the Norwegian node of the EU-Openscreen infrastructure project. We support the discovery of biologically active substances in all areas of the Life Sciences by providing transnational, open access to the most advanced technologies, chemical and biological resources as well as expertise through Europe (For more information: http://openscreen.no/).
This meeting is to present the capabilities of EU-Openscreen and NOR-Openscreen and to illustrate the impact of screening activities on research projects.
Coffee and food will be served from 14:15
