Welcome note
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the executive committee of the Section Proteomics of the Life Science Switzerland (LS2) organization, we would like to invite you to participate in the 2018 Annual Swiss Proteomics Meeting.
The Swiss Proteomics meeting is an annual event gathering more than 100 proteomic/life science researchers from Switzerland and neighboring countries. The meeting will be held on April 19 and 20, 2018 in Eurotel Montreux, Switzerland. With Profs. Matthias Selbach & Jennifer Van Eyk, we have an excellent line-up of keynote speakers!
Matthias Selbach, Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), Berlin, Germany
“Proteome Dynamics”
Jennifer Van Eyk, Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles, CA, USA
“Medicine and Me: a route to individualized monitoring and intervention”
With a new executive team the LS2 Proteomics section aims to reach out to researchers, who are interested in proteomics, but are not necessarily proteomics experts. This meeting is therefore a great opportunity for PhD students, post-docs and group leaders to learn from & connect with researchers using advanced mass spectrometric strategies in order to get mechanistic insights into dynamic biological processes. The topic is accordingly straightforward:
“New Trends in Proteomics”
The Proteomics meeting is different in many respects. We do focus within a 24 hour format - from Thursday at noon to Friday early afternoon - on bringing the younger generation of proteomic researchers to the table. Most Swiss PI's will bring several lab members, if not their whole team to the meeting. A higher number of flash talks provide students with the opportunity to present their research & advancements. The meeting is very interactive and participants appreciated very much the opportunity to directly talk to PIs, keynote speakers and vendors - something which is quite tricky to accomplish at larger international meetings.
There will be a prize for the best oral presentation!
THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION & ABSTRACTS IS February 15, 2018.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity for scientific exchange!
Sincerely,
The executive committee of the Swiss Proteomics Society
