Interact 2013

Link | | Sheryl Roberts

Be part of <interact 2013> Munich and join the young life sciences community from all walks of life with the main event on the Monday, 22nd of March, downtown TUM. This symposium I was made aware of today and it looks life it’s gonna be a great way to keep up to date on what everyone else’s up to in the city. From looking at the website, there seems to be an opportunity to submit a poster & talk. So if you’re interested, check out the specific topic requirements under ‘guidelines’ and happy submitting!

Interact 2013

I don’t know about you but I’d be pretty much interested to hear what Prof. Jean Beggs from the University of Edinburgh has to say. She is an inspirational woman who has received a number of prestigious awards for her contribution to Science. In particular, adding new depths and dimensions to mRNA splicing. This has obviously nothing to do with what I’m doing but I’m nosy. Plus she’s from Scotland. If this is not for you, just go anyways, you’re free pens and goods awaits you…

Maybe see you at the conference!

Institute for Biological and Medical Imaging

Helmholtz Zentrum München

In association with the Chair for Biological Imaging at the Technical University Munich (TUM), IBMI is actively engaged into engineering necessary technology and work platforms for in-vivo imaging from living organisms to humans. Central to the key in achieving these goals, IBMI integrates highly interdisciplinary skills and bridges with maths, physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and medicine led by Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos.

The key focus areas are (i) Development of new imaging devices, (ii) multi-modality systems, (iii) advancing imaging and image reconstruction theories and methods and (iv) development of models for the interrogation of new technologies.

Watch out for the new updated website coming out soon in January 2013!
