Speakers are leaders in their fields and workshops provide ample opportunity for networking and professional development. The 2011 theme is “Molecules to Function….. Forging Physiological Frontiers through Research” and will provide delegates access to the latest research and development in the various fields within the medical bio sciences industry.

The conference is being held at one of Africa’s premier medical bioscience’s department, in the centre of one of South Africa’s most vibrant cities.
