Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants
The exciting scientific and technical advances in biotechnology have the potential to eliminate or control many of the important diseases/dramatically improve the health of animals and humans. This meeting aims to bring together those using genetics, genomics, transgenesis, developmental analysis and other techniques of molecular biology to discuss applications to veterinary and medical sciences, including, for example, stem cells and cloning, transplantation, vaccines, diagnostics, disease surveillance, animal models of human disease, novel breeding strategies and other applications of genomics. The issues of public awareness, ethical and regulatory considerations will also be discussed.
Sessions will focus on: Cloning & Stem Cells; Genetic Modification; Animal Breeding & Genomics; Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals & Diagnostics, Models of Human Disease; Ethics & Regulatory Issues.

- Not just humans benefit from animal biotechnology
Laboratory animals are the source of major discoveries and breakthroughs in biology, not just in tackling disease but also unravelling fundamental molecular processes. Delegates at a recent research conference organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and Wellcome Trust heard how technology capable of analysing animal genes across the whole genome is yielding many benefits for agriculture and human society.
