Functional High Throughput Technologies Australia Meeting 2018

24–25 October 2018

This year's meeting will bring together experts from all around Australia and beyond. We will offer introductory workshops on all major high-­throughput technologies that are currently established or emerging in Australia including  CRISPR, RNAi, compound and 3D screening, coupled with High Content  Analysis and Flow Cytometry-based screening. These areas will be complemented by plenary talks by our invited speakers, and more opportunities for Australasian early-career researchers (such as PhD students and Postdocs) to present their research.
