Brain Single Cell Meeting in Leuven Belgium, Sept. 22-23, 2016

[Junhyong Kim]

Dear Sir, Madam,

 

VIB (Flemish Institute for Biotechnology) organizes a neuroscience conference in September, which I thought might be of interest to your group.

If you require more specifics please let me know.

 

Here are all the details:

 

TITLE: The Brain Mosaic: cellular heterogeneity in the CNS

DATE: September 22-23, 2016

LOCATION: Leuven, Belgium

VENUE: Museum M, Leopold Vanderkelenstraat 28, 3000 Leuven

WEBSITE: http://www.vibconferences.be/event/the-brain-mosaic-cellular-heterogeneity-in-the-cns   

 

DESCRIPTION: Advances in genomics through to in vivo physiology allow us, for the first time, to explore cellular heterogeneity at multiple experimental levels. Nowhere is this more important than in the Central Nervous System (CNS), where cellular heterogeneity has profound effects on all aspects of normal brain function and behavior, and explains important aspects of disease pathology.

 

This meeting assembles leaders in the field of single cell analysis, together with junior faculty, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students.  We will discuss both cutting-edge technological developments in single cell analysis and what they reveal about CNS function and disease.

 

The conference will be preceded by a training day for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, which will introduce junior researchers to essential techniques used in the field.

 

In addition to a great scientific and training program, there will be ample opportunities to network during the breaks, poster sessions, Meet the Expert-session and conference dinner.

 

DEADLINES:

Abstract deadline: July 10, 2016
