13th Fish Immunology Workshop, 22-26 April 2012
Welcome to the Fish Workshop hosted by the Cell Biology & Immunology group at Wageningen University.
This website provides information and registration opportunities.
The Wageningen fish immunology / vaccination workshops have been organised annually since 1998. Typically, the workshops are characterised by one-hour presentations given by experienced lecturers, taking time to thoroughly introduce each subject. This year’s (2012) subject is FISH IMMUNOLOGY. The 2012 workshop includes two afternoons with a choice between hands-on practicals or updates on recent molecular advances in microarray analysis and gene synteny. Further, participants will be asked to send an abstract of their research and be given the opportunity to bring a poster with the best one awarded the poster prize.The official workshop language is English.
The objective of the present workshop is to provide participants with advanced knowledge, both theoretical and practical, on the immune system of fish and shellfish. During the workshop we will discuss the latest insights in the evolution of the immune system but also related issues such as (experimental) animal welfare. The level of the workshop is targeting academic and company researchers as well as management staff in the aquaculture industry. In particular, we more than welcome PhD students, who have a reduced registration fee.
