Axiogenesis is pleased to announce the first Cor.4U® Applications Workshop! The goal of the event is to learn how other users are applying Axiogenesis Cor.4U human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in their research, to see demonstrations of various applications with live human cardiomyocytes, and to enjoy networking with colleagues.
The workshop is being held at the Axiogenesis headquarters (map) in beautiful Cologne GERMANY, on Thursday 12th & Friday 13th of September 2013. This is conveniently right before the Safety Pharmacology Society annual meeting being held nearby in Rotterdam NL.
See below for the preliminary agenda. The first 20 attendees to register will receive a FREE vial of Cor.4U® human cardiomyocytes! Plus, all attendees will receive a 25% discount on Cor.4U orders through September 2013
