This meeting is aimed for participants to gain theoretical and practical knowledge on genomic data of parasitic zoonoses, and share scientific experiences in the application of genetic markers in the fields of biomedical sciences. The meeting will focus on genomics of zoonotic parasites and the practical use of genomic data in diagnosis, epidemiology, phylogeny and evolution studies.
Topics
Mitochondrial and ribosomal genomics, molecular diagnosis, molecular epidemiology, molecular phylogeny, molecular evolution, bioinformatics in biomedical science.
Participants
Researchers working in the fields of molecular parasitology and biomedicine. Invited experienced lecturers in the molecular genomics of zoonotic parasites. Students and young researchers are also welcome to apply for participation.The Course programme will include poster sessions and short oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts. The sample format must be followed.
