Tue 25 - Fri 28 Jun-13 International Conference in Genomics (ICG-Europe 2013)

Ghent, Belgium


With participation of professors  J. Cools, Stein Aerts, Thierry Voet and Diether Lambrechts  partners in PF SymBioSys
VIB and BGI have teamed up to organize ICG-Europe 2013, the International Conference in Genomics Europe 2013.
The meeting is scheduled to take place From June 26-28, 2013, in Het Pand, Ghent, and promises to be one of the top genomics conferences in Europe in 2013.
More than 50 scientific leaders in the field will present their latest breakthroughs in areas ranging from plant/animal genomics, human genetics,metagenomics, and bioinformatics.
In addition to the scientific program, the meeting will feature a workshop on Innovation-Entrepreneurship and Venture creation in Genomics.
Ever thought about sequencing your own genome ? The workshop on Ethical/Social/Legal implication of Genomics has as guest speakers Lone Frank (writer of the book ‘My beautiful Genome’) and Pascal Borry, an expert in consumer genomics.
Finally, a workshop on Omics technology will feature as keynote Radoje Drmanac, CSO of Complete Genomics, Inc.
The organizers welcome additional speakers at the meeting: a limited number of abstracts will be selected for oral presentations.

Sun 21 - Fri 26 Jul-13 ICP2013 - International Photochemistry Conference

Leuven, Belgium


The International Conference on Photochemistry has a long-standing tradition in bringing together world-leading scientists working in all areas of fundamental and applied photochemistry and related sciences. The conference will be of interest to all those involved in using light to initiate and study chemical, physical and biological processes in matter. Topics covered include Novel developments in spectroscopy and microscopy, Single molecule spectroscopy, Plasmonics and Photonics, Photochemistry in polymers and material science, Photochemistry in sustainable technology, Basic photochemistry, Labels, Ultrafast spectroscopy, Inorganic and theoretical photochemistry, Photochemistry in Biology, amongst others.
The program for ICP2013 will consist of 13 plenary lectures, 34 invited lectures, more than 100 oral presentations and 2 poster sessions; all of this is condensed into 3 parallel and 10 thematic sessions distributed over six days.

Wed 11 - Fri 13 Sep-13 5th International Conference on Computational Bioengineering, ICCB2013

Leuven, Belgium


The use of computer simulations for the study and prediction of biological and biomedical processes is growing. Particularly where it concerns complex dynamic systems, such as biological and biomedical processes, computer simulations are indispensable in testing hypotheses and putting information in a quantitative context.
