Flow Technologies in Bioscience

Stevenage, 9th October 2012

A multi-disciplinary gathering to showcase & discuss the use of new and emerging flow technologies in drug discovery. Delegates will have the opportunity to hear presentations by leading industrial and academic researchers on the use of flow technologies in synthesising bioactive molecules, integrating chemical synthesis with biological screening and to learn about the role of cell & tissue based microfluidic devices in personalised medicine.

The seminar will be followed by a laboratory-based demonstration session where leading technology providers will provide close-up demonstrations of microfluidic equipment.

Chair: Steve Jordan, Biotage
