We are pleased to announce the V World Congress for Chronobiology (V WCC) which will beheld in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. Theconference will at 6:00 pm on the evening of Wednesday April 24, and willconclude at 18: pm on Saturday April 27, 2019.
WCCis held by World Federation of Societies for Chronobiology (WFSC) whose purposeof the Federation is to strive, in all countries, to promote education and theattainment of the highest level of knowledge and understanding in the field ofchronobiology. Chinese Society for Biological Rhythms (CSBR) will co-organized VWCC with WFSC.The committee will advise a program that over the relevance of chronobiologyfrom basic mechanisms to applications, and the over-arching theme of the conferencewill be “Chronobiology: TranslationOpportunities and Challenges”.
Suzhoucity is known for its elegance and is also called in China “Paradise on Earth” or“Venice of the East” and has the largest cluster of innovative Bio-Pharmaindustry in China. Suzhou city will provide us with tranquility and beauties, aswell as inspirations of science, social concerns and industrial demands.
V WCCwill be graciously co-hosted by Soochow University, Aschoff-Honma Foundation,National Institute of Biological Science, Chinese Sleep Research Society andindustrial companies.
