The symposium will be held from March 5 to 8, 2018 at The David Lopatie Conference Centre, on the campus of the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.The ‘Frontiers in Parasitology’ meeting's main theme is biological principles and their parasitic twist.

The meeting aims to gather leading scientists from around the world working in the parasitology field to share their latest findings in molecular and translational advances and to synthesize knowledge to drive future research agendas. In particular, the meeting will cover the molecular biology and biochemistry of parasitic protozoa, kinetoplastida and helminths and their interactions with both the definitive and intermediate host.

The conference will place special emphasis on the interdisciplinary approaches needed for new discoveries in the cellular biology of different parasites as well as effective therapeutic strategies to control a wide range of human and veterinarian pathogens that cause malaria, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, toxoplasmosis, amoebiasis and worm infections.

Registration is free of charge

Registration Deadline: February 20, 2018

The Bioscope Group is organizing the NanoProteoGenomics Summer Course 2017, in Caparica (Lisbon, Portugal)

The training will take place over two weeks, from 10 to 21 July 2017, and will address various aspects of genomics, proteomics and nanoparticles

The cost of the training depends on the number of participants - decreasing fees from 2 registrations.

The course is 80% hands-on in the laboratory and 20% theory

For more informations and registration, please visit the the hands-on courses webpage.
