The Plastid Preview 2016

The University of Edinburgh, SynthSys & Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

<DIV CLASS="panel_section">
The Plastid Preview is an annual meeting for UK/EU PhD students and young researchers working in any area of plastid biology to meet and foster networks with other young and senior scientists.
The two-day conference is FREE TO ATTEND and is aimed specifically at attracting early career researchers to present their work. There are typically 40-65 attendees and the quality of the talks is extremely high.
Last year's meeting hosted by Prof. Christine Raines at the University of Essex was particularly relevant for current hot topics such as food security and biotechnology, and highlighted the exciting progress currently being made in engineering plants for enhanced photosynthesis and microalgae for producing high value products. Similarly, new research informing our fundamental understanding of plastid biology was presented, including novel research of the dark and the light reactions of photosynthesis and the involvement of circadian rhythms. A further highlight of that meeting was the conference dinner - a good evening was had by all as scientific discussions continued into the small hours. Overall, the conference was very well received by both senior and young attendees. We aim to build on last year's success! 
 
This year's Plastid Preview will be held at the University of Edinburgh on 19th-20th September:
19th September: 1.00pm - 5.00pm followed by Conference Dinner
20th September: 9.00am - 4.30pm
Bed and Breakfast accomodation will be provided for the night of 19th September.

Deadline for registration extended - closes on the 15th August.
