4th Optogenetic Technologies and Applications Conference
September 10, 2024 to September 12, 2024
The 4th Optogenetic Technologies and Applications Conference will showcase advances in optogenetics and bring together different branches of the optogenetic community. The conference will include approaches in neuronal and non-neuronal optogenetics as well as in material science and unicellular organisms. Discover how these approaches are being promoted to initial translation across the life sciences.
Important Deadlines:
Early Bird Deadline EXTENDED: July 29, 2024
This is the premiere conference for developers and practitioners of optogenetics from diverse fields of bioscience. It will showcase the latest developments, foster new interactions, and highlight the future of optogenetics across both academia and industry.
