The event is organized by the Doctoral Program in Sciences with specialization in Applied Cellular and Molecular Biology of the Universidad de La Frontera and will take place online, on November 25 and 26.

Experts and students from different countries will be part of the first International Workshop on Applied Cellular and Molecular Biology, which will take place online on November 25 and 26.

The workshop is organized by the Doctoral Program in Sciences with specialization in Applied Cellular and Molecular Biology of the Universidad de La Frontera (UFRO) and is open to everybody who is interested, from the students of the Program itself, to other national and international participants.

The workshop consists of different symposia that will address four main topics: Biotechnology of bioresources, Cellular and Molecular Biology of Reproduction, Cellular and Molecular Biology of Priority Diseases, and Applied Science: the challenge of linking academy and industry.

“This is the first time that the Doctoral Program organized a workshop individually. It will be a valuable opportunity to present our lines of research and the academic body, and to strengthen ties with the graduate community,” says Dr. Marjorie Reyes Díaz, who is part of the academic body of the Program and in charge of organizing the workshop together with Dr. Cledir Rodríguez Santos.

The connection with the graduates of the Doctoral Program actually is one of the focuses of the event, which will be addressed in the symposium “Applied Science: the challenge of linking academy and industry”, where the main guests are graduates of the program who are currently strongly linked with the industry.

The registration deadline for the Workshop is from October 12 to November 20. The deadline for abstract submission is from October 12 to October 31, and the deadline for poster submission is November 12.
