EBTT 2009

Cell membrane electroporation, its mechanisms and applications in biology, medicine and biotechnology. The basis of the phenomena, current applications and future prospects were the main topics of this international meeting.

Whether you were a postgraduate student or just wanted to learn and contribute to the discussion, you were kindly invited to attend the workshop and the course on electroporation technologies and treatments. Abstract submission was strongly encouraged and was necessary if credits (5 ECTS) were sought. Each participant submitting an abstract also presented it in the form of a short oral presentation.
