Highlights:
The 3rd International Symposium on Animal Functional Genomics (ISAFG) will present opportunities to take stock of the current European and International position in animal functional genomics, identifying areas for collaborations and the development of new resources.
Increased exposure through the bringing together of two important conference series:
1st European Farm Animal Functional Genomics Conference (ARK-Genomics) and
2nd International Symposium on Animal Functional Genomics (Michigan State University)
Themes:
The conference will be structured around the following themes:
“Genetics and QTLs”
“Bioinformatics and Data Mining”
“Animal Health”
“Functional Genomics meets Physiology”
“Animal Genomics in Industry”
“Proteomics”
“Systems Biology”
The ISAFG event will run in parallel with the launch of the EBRC, a new world class animal bioscience centre.
The keynote lectures by Professor John Quackenbush and Professor Michel Georges will highlight functional genomics and its impact on Systems Biology.
Additionally there will be 2 open sessions, a poster session with cheese &wine as well as a conference dinner.
As before, there will be plenty of opportunities for networking.
