SYMiBIO for Synergy Microfluidcs Biology will take place in Paris (at IPGG) the 24-25th of March 2016.

Free registration

The objective of SYMiBio is to promote scientific exchanges and stimulate interactions between biologists and people of the microfluidics community. This workshop has been initiated by  the "Mission pour l'interdisciplinarité du CNRS" and supported by CelTisPhyBio and IPGG Labex, PSL* and the GDR Microfluidique.

SYMiBio is opened to PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and senior scientists.

The program contains a selection of presentations on a wide range biological systems, organized around three pillars illustrating the Microfluidics/Biology synergy : Decipher / Control / Analyze.

A poster session is included in the program to favor exchanges between scientists of the various fields.
