Workshop on theory and practice on Gene-Array technology

Monday September 6-2004

 

“Gene expression profiling using microarrays has become a popular molecular biological approach in the last few years. The availability of complete genome sequence information along with improved technological advances has created a situation where these techniques can be applied in a broad manner, thereby facilitating profiling of large sections of the transcriptosome” (Microarrays Methods and Applications: Nuts & Bolts Gary Hardiman, Ph.D.).

 

PRESENTATION

The “Workshop on theory and practice on Gene-Array technology” will provide the participants with knowledge about experimental design, molecular biology principles and methodologies in gene-array experiments. For the symposium a team of speakers from academic institutions and experts from major companies involved in product development in molecular biology field have been put together.
Participants will learn about all most recent development of the technology. In addition, a tutorial program will be organized to guide the participants through the practice of gene-array.
Obtaining a maximal value from gene array experiment involves a team effort that includes tight collaboration between biologists, bioinformatics and software engineers. The NETTAB2004 will offer the unique opportunity to bring together these different scientific communities.

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This workshop is intended for scientists who are interested in genomic experiments and wish to learn the basics of gene array technology.
