First International qPCR Symposium  &  Application Workshop
Transcriptomics, Clinical Diagnostics  &  Gene Quantification3rd - 6th
March, 2004 in Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany

http://www.wzw.tum.de/gene-quantification/qpcr2004/index.shtml


Up to now around 135 Abstracts submitted from 27 Nations worldwide
http://www.wzw.tum.de/gene-quantification/qpcr2004/main-2004.shtml#news


The Symposium and the Application Workshop presents unbiased
international lectures & posters about quantification strategies,
normalisation methods & new algorithms for exact nucleic acid
quantification in the broad range of qPCR applications:
Transcriptomics, Clinical Diagnostics, Food Hygiene  &  GMO,
Expression profiling, Microbiology, Pharmacogenomics, Forensic,
Nutrigenomics, Molecular Endocrinology, cDNA Array Verification,
Theoretical qPCR, Pre-analytical Steps  &  RT, Isolation of Nucleic
Acids.http://www.wzw.tum.de/gene-quantification/qpcr2004/qpcr2004-workshop.html
More than 40 internationally renown speakers will be participating in
a lively and exciting programme enabling the valuable exchange of
information in the qPCR field. As a special guest we can announce
Prof. Carl Wittwer from the Institute of pathology at the University
of Utah School of Medicine. He is an associate editor of Clinical
Chemistry, and best known for developing techniques in rapid-cycle PCR
and as the inventor of the LightCycler.
http://www.wzw.tum.de/gene-quantification/qpcr2004/main-2004.shtml#speaker
Parallel to the Symposium an Industrial Exhibition will take place
along with the congress, where an intensive conversation with numerous
companies is possible (real-time PCR Cyclers, Kit Producers, Nucleic
Acid Purification Systems, Enzyme Producers, Plastic ware Suppliers,
etc.). 23 companies agreed to participate at the Industrial
Exhibition.
