On behalf of the Organisation Committee and the Scientific Board it is great pleasure to invite you to the 3rd International qPCR Symposium & Industrial Exhibition & Application Workshop to be held at the Center of Life Science in Freising Weihenstephan, Technische Universität München (Germany). The great international interest in the previous meetings [ qPCR 2004 and qPCR 2005 ] with up to 465 participants in each event from over 40 countries, and 30 international companies in the qPCR Industrial Exhibition led us to the decision to repeat it in spring 2007.

We have set the date for the qPCR 2007 Event 26 – 30th March 2007. The event location is the central lecture hall complex and the foyer at TUM (Technical University of Munich) in Freising Weihenstephan, Germany. The TUM and the Biotech region around Munich is part of the largest Biotech cluster in Europe, located close to the Munich airport in the heart of Bavaria.

Leading academic researchers and industrial contributors in the field will be participate in the symposium, which will be an arena for fruitful discussions between researchers of different backgrounds. Here you will find a list of the Symposium talks (preliminary). The Symposium Talks, various Poster Sessions, Industrial Exhibition and three associated TATAA Application Workshops offer an overview of the present knowledge and future developments in qPCR technology and its wide applications.

The qPCR 2007 Event is structured with three parts:


1. qPCR Symposium taking place March 26 – 28, including various Talk and Poster sessions
2. A parallel qPCR Industrial Exhibition taking place March 26 – 28
3. Followed by three qPCR TATAA Workshops taking place March 29 – 30

The focus of the qPCR 2007 Event will be on single-cell qPCR, and microRNA / siRNA quantitative RT-PCR applications.
