ICoVax 2012 Workshop Format

Update on 9/27/2012: The final schedule of the workshop is now available in the Final Program website.

This will be a full-day workshop. This workshop encourages extensive discussion and exchange. It will include a Morning Session and an Afternoon Session.

A tutorial of conformational B-cell epitope predictions, and software demo of the SEPPA program.

Poster sessions: The posters will be available throughout the day. Special poster sessions are allocated in the program.

Poster size: Our poster board can contain two A0 posters (reference: http://www.papersizes.org/a-paper-sizes.htm). You can use up to an A0 poster size for your poster.

Discussion: There will be a focused Discussion session in the afternoon. Extensive discussions are encouraged during the workshop presentation and breaks.
