The 8th Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells 8th PEACe will be held from September 16-20, 2007 in Brazil on the Costa Verde located 150 Km, South of Rio de Janeiro.

The goal of the 8th Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells is to continue a tradition of bringing experts from academia and industry together to discuss current know-how and available technologies in this field:

Highlights and Objectives

1. Latest information on non-viral and viral vectors and expression systems

2. Highlights on recent development in cell engineering, cell culture technologies and protein production

3. Latest development in systems biology, RNA interference and stem cell/tissue engineering

4. Informal discussion with invited speakers and other delegates from both industry and academia

5. Latest information on reagents and equipment through vendors’ exhibition and workshops

Passport and Visa Information

All participants need a valid passport to enter Brazil. Visas may be required for participants of some countries.
