Proceedings

Instead of publishing the conference proceedings for PhysCell2009, we have arranged for the possibility that all participants contribute to the November issue of ChemPhysChem.

This issue will feature a collection of articles dedicated to the 75th birthday of Prof. Erich Sackmann.

You are most welcome to provide an article-highlight, a review or a minireview, a concept article, as well as an original contribution, related to the material that you intend to present at PhysCell2009.

Contributions are strictly voluntary. More details on specific formats can be found here. Since all contributions will be peer-reviewed, the submission should take place in July. If you want to proceed with this option, please contact the editorial office of ChemPhysChem (chemphyschem_at_wiley.com).
