The II International Symposium on Biological Sciences is a meeting organized by the Graduate Program in Biological Sciences (PPGCB) of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), that integrates different research areas such as biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, genetics, and morphology.
During the meeting, the participants will have the opportunity to see lectures from international speakers around the world, and presentations of the graduate students on biological sciences. The organizing committee welcomes all participants and we hope you enjoy our meeting.
