Oral Presentations
The plenary and keynote lectures will be used to provide an overview of the area of microscale bioseparations (see list of Confirmed Invited Speakers). Following the plenary and keynote lectures, oral sessions will be arranged in parallel, and used for the presentation of latest research results.
Poster sessions
Ample time will be provided for poster presentations. The poster sessions are a platform for interaction between researchers and users of microscale bioseparations & methods for systems biology.
- Size of posters: A0 portrait (118.9cm high x 84.1cm wide)
Poster awards
Scientific contributions presented and discussed as posters will be reviewed by a panel of international scientists, who would select three award-winning papers.
The awards have been kindly endowed by Springer-Verlag and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Workshops
The pre-conference workshops, on sunday, will give tutorial lectures on a few relevant subjects. They intend to provide an entry into the topics of the symposium - to novices, to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, but also to experienced users who want to obtain a comprehensive view of the particular topic. The workshops will last a half-day and will be arranged such that one can participate in two complementary workshops.
List of workshop topics:
 | Use of CE in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry outline |
| Metabolomics for clinical and single cell analysis outline |
| Microfabrication technologies for microfluidic devices outline |
| Miniaturized separation techniques for „-omics“ analysis outline |
| Micro- and Nanofluidics: basics and applications outline |
Social program On Sunday, March 9, a get together will take place at 8:30 pm after the initial talks and lectures. The conference dinner will take place on Wednesday, March 12, starting with a boat tour through the city of Berlin followed by a traditional Berlin rustic dinner at 'Max und Moritz'. The dress code is casual for this event. |
Proceedings
Manuscripts related to all original oral and poster presentation presented at MSB 2008 will be considered for a special issue on the Journal of Chromatography A, subject to the normal refereeing process. In order to be able to deal with the manuscripts as fast and efficiently as possible, the manuscripts must be submitted via the journal’s online submission system at Elsevier by April 13, 2008.
