Dear all,
I want to advertise this very interesting event on October 3rd: Northern Highlights of Biotech and Health.
It has a great program which gives a great possibility for instance to hear representatives of Nordlab (Pohjois-Suomen
laboratoriokeskuksen liikelaitoskuntayhtymä). Nordlab is responsible of the laboratory medicine in the whole northern Finland, including Oulu University Hospital, Rovaniemi, Kokkola etc., and both MDs and life science specialists
work in Nordlab. We will also get an update on local activities in drug development, use of printed intelligence in development of bioanalytics, how to monitor food safety, and about university-industry collaboration. This is also a great occasion to meet
people working on various areas of the life science and medicine. Don´t miss this! Find the program attached, and below.
Kind regards
Pirkko Huhtala
