After the successful launching of the 1st Queenstown Molecular Biology (Shanghai) Meetings in March 2013, we repeated that experience from 2014 to 2017 which received tremendous responses among both domestic and overseas scientific communities. As a result, the Queenstown Molecular Biology Meetings Society of New Zealand, the National Center for Drug Screening and China Financial Information Center will hold 2018 Queenstown Molecular Biology (Shanghai) Meetings between March 22 and 23, 2018.
