CTLS2018@VIB
CORE TECHNOLOGIES FOR LIFE SCIENCES
Add to calendarAfter two successful editions of the CTLS conference (at Institut Pasteur, Paris in 2014 and at EMBL, Heidelberg in 2016), VIB is honoured to organize the 2018 conference in the beautiful and historic city of Ghent.
Over the 4 days of the conference there will be plenary and parallel sessions focusing on all facets of core facility operations, management and specific technologies of interest to core facility staff. Keynote talks will be given by 2001 Nobel laureate Paul Nurse and by Frances Weis-Garcia (President of ABRF). Poster sessions will be held to allow core scientists to present new developments in their technologies and a core facility marketplace area will also be available for facilities to promote their expertise and services. A Belgian beer tasting, guided boat trip through the city’s canals and conference dinner in the old fish market will highlight the social program.
CTLS2018@VIB aims to offer core facility staff and those interested in careers as expert scientists an opportunity to learn, network and forge alliances to strengthen core facility science throughout Europe.
The topics that will be discussed are:
- Big data
- Emerging model systems
- Multi scale/Multi disciplinary
- Data management
- Single cell technologies
- Rigor and reproducibility
- Integrating infrastructures
- CF interactions with government, clients, institutions and each other
Workshops & Satellite meetings
The program includes seven company workshops and 4 satellite meetings.
