The following courses take place prior to the Lab-on-a-Chip European Congress.
Principles and Applications of Microfluidics in the Life Sciences
09:00-12:30, 18 May 2009, Stockholm, Sweden
This course is being presented by Nicole Pamme, a Lecturer at Hull University.
Who Should Attend?
The course is suitable for scientists, technicians and engineers who would like to learn (more) about microfluidics and its applications in the area of life sciences. Researchers who are interested in working with microfluidic devices will acquire a comprehensive overview of the field. The course will also provide an opportunity for researchers that already have experience with microfluidic devices but that would like to update or broaden their knowledge on recent developments in bio-applications.
