Chromatin, Replication and Chromosomal Stability Conference

BRIC (Biotech Research & Innovation Center) is a special research center at the University of Copenhagen, established in 2003 to form an international center of excellence in biomedical research with the mission of performing outstanding research.

Visit Copenhagen

Copenhagen is arguably Europe's most welcoming capital; an enticing smorgasbord of 18th century housing, the sea, designer shops, and polite, bicycle-minded residents speaking flawless English. 

Copenhagen's airport (Kastrup) is situated a short journey from the city center and is easily accessible by train, bus or taxi. The airport is served by numerous international and low cost airlines flying to destinations worldwide. For further information on Copenhagen, please visit the Copenhagen Tourist Information website.
