The YSF2008 will be a two-day symposium on "Cell Harmony" with pioneers and distinguished plenary speakers, selected Ph.D. students and early postdoctoral fellows delivering short oral presentations on their research topics along with poster presentations delivered by the rest participants during the afternoons.

The event organised in collaboration with the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) is dedicated to the diverse scientific fields that should harmonically interact to reveal the secrets of cellular function or malfunction. The term “Harmony” further corroborates the need for teamwork and collaboration to achieve desirable results, either in the molecular or in the macromolecular level.

Given that FEBS is dedicated to promote the interaction between Ph.D. students and young scientists, the Organizing Committee of the YSF2008 proudly announces that grants for all accepted participants will be awarded. Furthermore, all YSF participants will also attend free of charge (registration fee plus accommodation) the subsequent 33rd FEBS Congress and 11th IUBMB Conference "Biochemistry of Cell Regulation", that will be held from June 28th to July 3rd, 2008, in Athens, Greece.
