INVITATION

The Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) of Bielefeld University cordially invites you to attend the 6th CeBiTec Symposium entitled "Genome-based Microbiology: From -omics Research to Systems and Synthetic Biology". The conference will be held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) of Bielefeld University from July 18th to 20th, 2011. Thematically, the conference covers the spectrum from microbial genomics and postgenomics to systems and synthetic biology. In addition, novel technological developments in next-generation high-throughput sequencing will be presented.

• Genomics and Metagenomics Research
  
• Transcriptomics, e.g. RNA-seq
  
• Proteomics/Metabolomics
• Bioinformatics Challenges
• Regulatory networks
• Modeling and Simulation
• Synthetic Biology and Public Perception
• iGEM competition
• Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies
  

Your are cordially invited to attend the conference. You also may actively participate in the symposium by presenting your work in poster sessions. The conference flyer can be found here.
