DSB - unique conference

This conference is unique among biotech conferences worldwide.

DSB brings together top national and international scientists who are leading the development of genomic and proteomic research tools, and the premier biotech companies that are spearheading the development of commercial applications of these techniques.  DSB also introduces scientists to commercial possibilities of innovative science by including talks from scientists who have successfully set up companies; and a session from business professionals on how to recognise and commercialise IP. The delegates and speakers represent the foremost laboratories working in Biotechnology in Australia and internationally.

International speakers are invited from Europe, the United States and Asia. The 2002 Meeting focused on Japanese-Australian research ties and investment potential.

The program runs over a full three days including in the program several Workshops sponsored by companies with research credentials in the field. A company-sponsored Workshop is run either asa pre-conference Workshop or as part of the main program, with scientific presenters in the session/s and including a morning or afternoon tea.
