Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in an International Conference on “Free Radicals in Biosystems” on March 18-21 at Kuwait University, Kuwait, Arabian Gulf. The meeting will be hosted by Kuwait University, Kuwait Fund for Advancement of Science and Kuwait Institute of Scientific Research. The venue of the meeting will be the Kuwait University Convention Center at Shuwaikh campus right on the Arabian Gulf sea side.
