On February 20-26, 2011, Yerevan will host 18 famous professors of European, Asian and American scientific laboratories, who’ll deliver lectures on gene mutation-caused cancer.

As the organiser of the event, the president of the Armenian Young Biologists Association, Arsen Gasparyan told a news conference in Yerevan, free lectures, to be followed by a conference, are a unique chance for Armenian students to hear famous scientists, with a Nobel prize laureate among them.
