Announcing the Second Annual Research Colloquium for the Centre for Reproduction and Genomics

Friday, 27 November 2009

The CRG's Second Annual Research colloquium will run on the 23rd February 2010 in the Cullen Room located on the Invermay campus.

The CRG houses some of the country's leading researchers in the field of reproduction and genomics and our annual colloquium provides an important opportunity to bring together interested parties to share the wealth of knowledge being generated by the science teams within and associated with the Centre.

This year, along with a strong contingent of local speakers, we are delighted to have three exceptional internationally recognised scientists presenting keynote addresses at our symposium:

Professor Sir Peter Gluckman (Auckland) Maternal and transgenerational effects - the role of epigenetics and developmental plasticity in phenotypic development

Professor Marilyn Renfree (Melbourne) Marsupials: Placental mammals?

Professor David Hume (Roslin) Transcriptional Networks and Macrophage Biology

In addition as a new initiative for 2010 we will be launching the Centre for Reproduction and Genomic's Poster Competition, which is open to all students and postdoctoral researchers working at or in association with the Centre are invited to take part in our first Annual Poster Competition. Two cash prizes of $250 will be awarded to the best student and postdoctoral poster.

The University of Otago, AgResearch and Illumina have generously sponsored this event, which enables us to make registration free to all attendees. We look forward to seeing you all there.
