International workshop: brine shrimp Artemia as model organism in life sciences research

In conjunction with larvi 2013, a half-day  (morning) workshop will be organized on Monday September 2nd at the same venue as larvi.
The aim of this workshop is to promote the brine shrimp Artemia as a model organism for different disciplines in life science research in view of the upcoming availability of the annotated Artemia genome. A selection of speakers will highlight how progress in their discipline can benefit from this scientific breakthrough.
Participation to the workshop is free, although separate registration is required.
