Where?

The BioC 2015 meeting will be held at the University of Glasgow, School of Chemistry, in the Joseph Black Building. Talks will be held in the Carnegie Lecture Theatre (C305) and refreshments will be served in the Conference Room (A4-41a). Posters will be displayed on poster boards in the Conference Room.

Below is a Google map showing the route from the Hillhead underground station to the Joseph Black building. If you arrive by taxi, ask to be dropped off in front off the Wolfson Medical Building (the new glass-fronted building) on University Avenue. The Carnegie Lecture Theatre is indicated with a red x. (General maps and travel information for the University of Glasgow.)
