Special Seminar on Phylogenomics and Animal Evolution!

02.03.2009 at 14:00 

The GeoBio-CenterLMU is proud to host Casey Dunn and Antonis Rokas, two of the keynote speakers of the "CELEBRATING DARWIN – From The Origin of Species to Deep Metazoan Phylogeny" Symposium in Berlin (4.-6. March  2009, www.dmp2009.org), in Munich prior to the meeting. Both will give a seminar on Monday 2 March 2009 at Luisenstr. 37, Hörsaal 230 (14:00h - 16:00h), invited by Alexandros Stamatakis (Bioinformatics, TUM) and Gert Wörheide (GeoBio-CenterLMU).
