Do you have an idea for a conference or a retreat?

We are currently expanding our programme and wish to invite proposals for new conferences and retreats from the scientific community to be run in 2019 or 2020.

Our conferences foster discussion and debate at the cutting-edge of biomedical research, whilst our retreats are small, invitation-only discussion meetings that aim to have a major impact on research or policy.

Immunogenomics of Disease: Accelerating to Patient Benefit

5-7 February 2019: This conference aims to bring together scientists working in molecular immunology, functional genomics and immune-mediated disease genetics to showcase recent findings in the field of immunogenomics. It will also explore ways to implement the genetic discoveries to benefit patient health.

Deadlines: Registration 8 January

The Challenge of Chronic Pain

4-6 March 2019: This conference will showcase the most recent discoveries and potential avenues for therapies in chronic pain research and treatment. World leaders in pain research including those working in basic science, translational research and clinical therapies will present the latest and most promising findings, as well as the challenges left to overcome.

Deadlines: Early bird 18 December | Bursary 8 January | Abstract 22 January | Registration 5 February

Fungal Pathogen Genomics

7-12 May 2019: This week-long course is a collaborative teaching effort between the FungiDB, EnsemblFungi, PomBase, SGD/CGD, MycoCosm, and JGI web-based fungal data mining resources. It provides hands-on training on how to take advantage of unique tools offered by each database; develop testable hypotheses, and investigate transcriptomics, proteomics and genomics datasets across multiple databases and different user interfaces.

Deadline: 7 February
