Internationally renowned scientists will update you on the latest trends in this fast-evolving field
Dear Frederik,
On behalf of the organizing committee we present to you the first edition of ‘Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences’.
This two-day event is organized by the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB), and takes place on the 17th-18th of March, 2016 in Leuven, Belgium.
PROGRAM WITH INTERNATIONAL EXPERTS
During the first edition of ABLS a fine selection of internationally renowned scientists will present you their latest data and discoveries . They will highlight the power of bioinformatics in the fields of medical, agriculture, and biotechnology research.
Grab this opportunity to meet experts in the field and to network with hundreds of scientists coming from all around the globe.
PRESENT YOUR RESEARCH
We hope you get involved and present your latest research during the conference. Send us your abstract and we will get in contact with you to offer you a spot to present.
JOIN OUR WORKSHOP
As a prelude to the ABLS conference, VIB TRAINING AT VIB is organizing a workshop to help biologists and computational biologists to better understand prerequisites once planning large data generating experiments. The course will be held on 16th of March from 9am at the Provinciehuis, Leuven. More info on the workshop will follow soon.
EXPAND YOUR NETWORK
Networking is an indispensible part of our conference concept. A good balance between inspirational talks and networking opportunities gives you the opportunity to grow your network. Traditionally, we close the first day of our conference with a reception on-site, and gather later in the evening for an informal conference dinner.
EXPLORE THE HISTORICAL UNIVERSITY CITY OF LEUVEN
The members of the Organizing committee selected the historical center of the city of Leuven as the setting for this two-day conference. Leuven is known for housing the Leuven university, which is one of the oldest universities of Western Europe.
Education and science is not the only strength of the region. The city is also home to the Anheuser-Busch InBev company, one of the world's largest brewing groups producing the Leuven-based Stella-Artois beer as one of their flagship brands.
We hope to have triggered your interest in our conference.
In case you have questions or remarks, please feel free to contact us.
With kind regards,
On behalf of the OC,
Alexander Botzki
