Symposium under the auspices of the Russian Neurochemical Society, dedicated to Eugene Grishin’s 80th anniversary
The symposium, organized by the Department of Molecular Neurobiology, will take place on April 20 at 11:00. The program includes the unveiling of a memorial booth and presentations by colleagues, students, friends, and associates of Eugene Grishin. We cordially invite everyone interested in modern research in the field of toxins, ion channels, and neurobiology! The presentations will be broadcast via Zoom.
