Freising, 25th March 2013
Dear
colleagues,
dear researchers,
dear company
representatives,
On
behalf
of
the Organisation Committee and the Scientific Board it is
a great pleasure to invite you to the 6th International qPCR
& NGS 2013 Event. The event is divided in a 3-day scientific Symposium with an Industrial
Exhibition and
various 2-day Application
Workshops to
be
held
at
the Center of
Life Science in Freising Weihenstephan,
Technische Universität München (Germany).
The
great
international
interest
in the previous meetings [ qPCR
2004 qPCR 2005 qPCR
2005 in Leipzig qPCR
2007 qPCR 2009
qPCR
2010 in Vienna and qPCR 2011 ] led us
to the decision to repeat the
Symposium in
spring 2013. We expect 400-500
participants
coming from all over the world,
in 2011 we could welcome participants from 56 contries, and roughly 40
international companies in
the qPCR Industrial Exhibition.
We have
set the date for the qPCR & NGS
2013 Event
to 18th
- 22nd March 2013. The event location is the central lecture hall
complex
and the foyer at TUM (Technical University of Munich) in Freising
Weihenstephan, Germany (Google Maps link or Google Earth link).
The TUM and the Biotech region around Munich is
part of the largest Biotech cluster in Europe, located close to the
Munich airport in the heart of Bavaria.
The focus of the qPCR & NGS 2013 Event will be on:
Next Generation Thinking in Molecular Diagnostics
| Leading
academic researchers and
industrial contributors in the field will participate in the
symposium, which will be an arena for fruitful discussions between
researchers of different backgrounds. The Symposium Talks, Poster
Sessions, Industrial
Exhibition and associated qPCR & NGS
Application
Workshops offer an
overview of
the present knowledge and future developments in qPCR, next generation
sequencing and gene
expression measurement technology and
its wide applications in research. |
|
|
|
The
symposium
will
focus on 74
lectures and 106 posters which will be presented
by
internationally
recognised experts in their field. The emphasis will be
on unbiased, didactic
information exchange. Internationally
renown speakers will be participating in a lively and exciting
programme enabling the valuable exchange of information in the qPCR
and Next Generation Sequencing field. One
third
of
the talks
will
be
presented by selected invited speakers,
one
third will be selected from the submitted
abstracts and one
third will be presented by qPCR & NGS related company
R&D
representatives. All
scientific contributions will be published
in the qPCR
2013
Symposium
Proceedings (ISBN 9783000410246).
Full papers from selected
invited
academic and industrial speakers and application notes
from industrial speakers will be
published in a METHODS special
issue “Transcriptional
Biomarkers” edited by Michael W. Pfaffl (published
January 2013).
At
the meeting all
participants will receive a print copy of
this special Methods
issue "Transcriptional
Biomarkers" METHODS 2013 59(1) pages 1-192 |
