MD2011:, Santorini, Greece
6th - 10th June 2011
We visit Santorini once again due to popular demand! This meeting aims to bring together all those interested in Mutation Detection methods and their application in Biology, Medicine and Agriculture. It is a forum where developers of methodology can exchange ideas, and those responsible for diagnostics can compare results with specific methods. Those in agriculture, microbiology and non-medical fields are encouraged to attend. It is also a source of new commercilization opportunites and partnerships. The Mutation Detection Symposium this year will be held in the Petros M. Nomikos Conference Centre which is located in the capital of the island of Santorini which is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. These symposia have a tradition of a wonderful cultural program that compliments the scientific program allowing all participants to freely interact and exchange ideas in magnificent surroundings with plenty of time for communication between the invited inventors and major users and committed audience who have experience in mutation detection. There is a strictly limited number of 200 registrants on a 1st come 1st served basis to allow maximum interaction between delegates. We therefore advise you to register as soon as possible. Go to the meeting Website to see the latest program.
