The
ICGEB eNewsletter is published bimonthly. We open this year by
reporting an exciting discovery in science from the
Cardiovascular Biology lab, new training and grant opportunities, Open
Access resources, and updates on Governance.
From the Director-General
Reverting, with regret, to remote seasonal greetings, in December
2021 I delivered my best wishes for the future to the ICGEB
community. Our goal as we enter 2022 is to be able to use our
science and resources to make the world a better place as we all hope
for a brighter and happier year ahead.
