Know more

Today's challenge: Understanding and analyzing the genome within a given cell type in the tissue environment - isolating the cell - working on very small quantities of biological material

The aim of the congress is to bring together internationally renowned experts in the field and offer an overview of the present knowledge for obtaining high quality molecules and future developments in "omic" tools (DNA, RNA and protein) for genome analysis and its expression at the cell level.

The latest advances in technology in the field will be introduced (flow cytometry, laser capture microdissection, NGS, digital PCR, WGA, LC-MS/MS, RPMA, etc).

During the symposium: 3 sessions introduced by keynote lecturers, experts in their field

• Sampling Methods (flow cytometry, laser capture microdissection, other new cell and exosome isolation methods)
• Nucleic Acids and Microgenomics
• Proteins and Microgenomics

Technical Workshop of microgenomics May 31-June 1 2016 INRA, Jouy-en-Josas

• Learn about the bases in sampling methods (speaker: Michael Tangrea, Lapidus Cancer Institute, USA), expression analysis and proteomics (speaker: Lance Liotta, George Mason University, USA) during our plenary session

• Participate in four workshops on Microgenomics Techniques

• Attend a Plenary session on Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis (speaker: Andrea Rau, GABI, INRA, AgroParisTech, Université Paris-Saclay, France)

• Visit INRA’s core facilities: genomics, proteomics, bioniformatics, imaging systems, animal testing, laboratories, specialized animal and microbe resources.
