Agenda of the Week

19th WRIB continues to feature the unique 3-DAY Main Workshop sequential program (DAY 1, DAY 2 and DAY 3). However you have the flexibility to select 2-DAY Main Workshop - either 2-DAY LBA, Flow Cytometry, PCR & ELISpot (DAY 1 & DAY 2) or 2-DAY Mass Spec, Chromatography & Sample Prep (DAY 2 & DAY 3).

In addition to the Main Workshop DAYs, 7 full-day Specialized Workshops spreads throughout the week to give you many choices to combine Main Workshop DAYs with these Specialized Workshops to maximize your learning needs.

And more importantly, EACH workshop (main or specialized) will be addressing the Latest Advances, Challenges and Solutions from Internationally Recognized Key Opinion Leaders and Regulators.
