IAFSB 2022
Sixth Conference: Interdisciplinary Approaches in Fish Skeletal Biology, Olhão, Algarve, Portugal
Save the Dates: November 9-12
Abstract Deadline Oct. 15. 2022
From Fossils to Farming to Biomedical Research.
From Sharks to Salmon and Zebrafish.
As always: Excellent Science at a Beautiful Location.
IAFSB conferences promote the dialogue between experts from different disciplines that have a common interest in fish skeletal research and comparative skeletal biology. Participants come from disciplines such as Evolution and Development, Developmental Genomics and Proteomics, Paleontology, Biomedical Sciences and Regenerative Medicine, Ichthyology and Systematics, Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics, Aquaculture, Fish Pathology, Fish Nutrition, and others.
The emphasis of IAFSB is to facilitate discussions, to promote the exchange of ideas and concepts during, before and after the sessions. The conference will be live (no streaming, no online contributions). IAFSB typically accommodates up to 100 participants.
