Freising, 30th
April 2009
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 4th International qPCR
Symposium & Industrial Exhibition & Application Workshop 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
and qPCR
2007 ] with up to 500 participants
coming from 56 countries,
and 35
international companies in
the qPCR Industrial Exhibition led us to the decision to repeat the
Symposium in
spring 2009.
We have
set the date for the qPCR 2009 Event
to 9 - 13th March 2009. The event location is the central lecture hall
complex
and the foyer at TUM (Technical University of Munich) in Freising
Weihenstephan, Germany. 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.
Leading
academic researchers and
industrial contributors in the field will be participate in the
symposium, which will be an arena for fruitful discussions between
researchers of different backgrounds. The Symposium Talks,
various Poster
Sessions, Industrial
Exhibition and associated qPCR Application
Workshops offer an
overview of
the present knowledge and future developments in qPCR technology and
its wide applications.
The
symposium will focus on 86 lectures and
144 posters 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
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 company
R&D
representatives. All
scientific contributions will be published
in the qPCR
2009 Symposium Proceedings ISBN
9783000268267.
It is a
pleasure to announce the Nobel Prize
Laureate Kary Mullis in an own session “25th Anniversary of PCR”
