ISRB Practical Session on Regenerative Models. September 2-6:

Additional satellite workshop (click here to download the proposed schedule)

Course organizers: Elly Tanaka, Ulrich Technau, Florian Raible, Ken Poss

Spanning the inaugural meeting, the ISRB is organizing a practical course for trainees (undergraduate to postdoc) who want to gain hands-on experience in regeneration model organisms. The course will demonstrate some key experiments using Nematostella, Platenereis, and axolotl such as regeneration from reaggregated cells in Nematostella, and grafting, and electroporation before spinal cord regeneration in axolotl. In addition, lectures on planaria, and zebrafish taken place.

The course starts in the morning of 2 September. Students can examine samples during the meeting and on the afternoon of 6 September for wrap up.

Course restricted to 20 students

Registration is open until June 15. You will be notified of the outcome by June 30th. Cost for course is €100.

MAP


TRAVELING TO VIENNA


By plane:

The International Airport Schwechat (VIE) is just outside of Vienna. It serves most European Cities and has also several daily flights to America and Asia. A direct S-Bahn (S7) connects the airport to the Vienna Biocenter (station: St. Marx - 25min ride) (tickets are available directly at the train station).

An alternative airport is the Bratislava Airport (BTS) which is served by several much cheaper airlines. From there, a bus connects to Vienna (approximately 1 hour ride).

By train:

Look for the train offers from the oebb (Austrian Railways) which connect many European cities to Vienna.

By bus:

Check the Eurolines website for connections to many European Cities.
