Mutation Detection 2009: 10th International Symposium on Mutations in the Genome

 
  April 09, 2009  
     
 
Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus
28th May - 1st June 2009


 Sunset at the conference dinner 

The PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE AT:

http://www.mutationdetection.org/Cyprus/files/Wprogram.pdf

This meeting aims to bring together all those interested in Mutation Detection methods and their application in Biology, Medicine and Agriculture. It is a forum where developers of methodology can exchange ideas, and those responsible for diagnostics can compare results with specific methods.

 

Those in agriculture, microbiology and non-medical fields are encouraged to attend. It is also a source of new commercialisation opportunities and partnerships. These meetings are now recognized and attended by the specialists in Mutation Detection and are continuing to be the only such grouping of scientists anywhere else in the world. We hope you can attend.

 

The next Mutation Detection Symposium will be held at the 5-star Coral Beach Hotel and Resort in the area of Coral Bay in the town of Paphos, Cyprus. Paphos has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1980. These symposia have a tradition of a wonderful cultural program that compliments the scientific program allowing all participants to freely interact and exchange ideas in magnificent surroundings with plenty of time for communication between the invited inventors and major users and committed audience who have experience in mutation detection.

The organising committee welcomes applications from anyone with an active research interest in mutation detection, but in order to achieve maximum interaction and discussion, the number of registrants is limited to 200 (this meeting has sold-out in the past, the policy will be 1st in 1st served). Abstracts need to be sent as indicated no later than 31st January 2009.
