qPCR 2009 Event 4th international qPCR Symposium & Industrial Exhibition & Application Workshop 9 - 13th March 2009, in Freising-Weihenstephan, Technical University of Munich, Weihenstephan, Germany NEW abstract submission deadline is elongated until 20th January 2009 => http://submission.qPCR2009.net/ Referee decision and final Event agenda will be presented on 31st January 2009 => http://talk-and-poster-call.qpcr2009.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- 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 600 participants coming from over 40 countries, and 30 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 approximately 60 lectures 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. It is a pleasure to announce the Nobel Prize Laureate Kary Mullis in an own session “25th Anniversary of PCR” The qPCR 2009 Event contains several parts: 1. qPCR Symposium taking place March 9 - 11, 2009 => Talk and Poster sessions http://sessions.qpcr2009.net/ => confirmed Speakers http://speakers.qpcr2009.net/ => download FLYER http://www.bioeps.com/qpcr2009/qPCR-2009-3rd-announcement.pdf 2.
