5th SPS Symposium:

LATEST UPDATES

Latest updates on the 5th SPS Symposium agenda !!

Sign up for the meeting today in order to allow optimal arrangements for our scientific interactions. The seats are filling up to the 5th International Swedish Proteomics Society Symposium in Uppsala, December 10-11, 2006.

There are some changes to the program (the reason also registered participants receive this mail), the new times are in the attached invitation.

We are starting earlier on Sunday with two speakers from our Gold Sponsor, GE:

• Preparation of Protein Samples
  Allan Simpson, GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden

• 2D Differential Gel Electrophoresis - New Development and Applications
  Reiner Westermeier, GE Healthcare, München, Germany

We are also happy to announce our final speaker for the Monday session:

• Sherlock Holmes and the Proteome: A Detective Story
  Pier Giorgio Righetti, Polytechnic of Milano, Milano, Italy

Because of the many posters and exhibitors we have created TWO poster sessions of 45 minutes on Monday. On Sunday (before the conference banquet) we will instead have a scientific reception at historical and beautiful Gustavianum. Here you can meet old and new colleagues and discuss cutting edge developments in proteomics next to artefacts reminiscent of Uppsala's scientific past - the Augsburg Cabinet, Celsius' thermometer, and the Anatomical Theatre to name a few.

Don't forget to register for the Sunday evening SPS Symposium Banquet - the next best thing if you are not going to the Nobel Banquet!

We are looking forward to see you in Uppsala in December!
