In the 2018 edition of the Life Sciences Switzerland (LS2) Annual Meeting, our four international plenary speakers will highlight their outstanding research in the field of Autophagy, the Nobel Prize winning topic. In addition, 10 scientific symposia from Physiology, to Systems Biology, Computational Biology, Neurosciences and Molecular Biosciences and more will present current research in their area. To complement the scientific program, career events for PhDs and Postdocs, contributions from 40+ industry partners, a transdisciplinary panel discussion on CRISPR/Cas9, an evening science crowdfunding event and award ceremonies will make this event unique for Switzerland!
