HFSP Workshop Series

A series of HFSP Workshops were held in Strasbourg (France)up until 2000. The proceedings were published in the form of monographs. They are useful to specialists in the field, as well as to teachers, scientists and students wishing for an introduction and update to these fascinating aspects of biology
The proceedings are available for most of them below in pdf format. Printed versions are no longer available.

The table of contents of each publication can be read by clicking on the title below. In some cases this links to a summary essay of the proceedings or to the complete publication in Adobe Acrobat format.
