The VIB Tools & Technologies Conference Revolutionizing Next-Generation Sequencing, taking place on 25-26 March 2019 in Antwerp, is approaching. Therefore we want to remind you that the deadline for submitting your research is 21 January 2019.

Regulatory Oxylipins (an International meeting) plans to capture this excitement by giving a platform both to established leaders and young researchers brought together by this vigorously developing field.

Some people may be born networking heroes, others may get chills only thinking about it.
The truth is, if you’re looking to get ahead, networking is the way to do it.

Earlier this year, VIB Conferences launched a new concept under the name VIB Science Events, to share its expertise and tools that have been developed and help put together scientific events initiated by experts from the centers. During the fall of 2018 VIB Conferences supported 3 Science Events.

On 26-27 Nov, over 220 scientists of which 50% from abroad gathered in Leuven for the second edition of Metabolism in Cancer and Stromal Cells.

Every quarter a VIB Conferences newsletter goes out to over 6,000 contacts. The newsletter includes highlights of the conferences program, and a fun section that is conference or science related. The latest edition included a cartoon from Hilde Bastian about scientific abstracts.

We wanted to let you know that the abstract deadline of 15 Dec 2018 is almost here for the VIB conference Type 2 Immunity in Homeostasis and Disease organized in cooperation with Cell Press on 21-22 February 2019, which will take place in the picturesque medieval city of Bruges, Belgium.

To give you an idea of what the speakers will be talking about during their presentations, you can find a selection of the talk titles here:

We would like to remind you about the final registration deadline for the International Meeting on Optical Biosensors, which is October 31st.

Type 2 inflammation rich in eosinophils, basophils and mast cells and orchestrated by Th2 lymphocytes has been mainly studied in the context of allergies and immune responses to helminths. Since the discovery of type 2 innate lymphoid cells there has been a strong interest in understanding how type 2 immunity is induced and regulated, for example by barrier epithelial cells.
