For 50 years, biology has witnessed dazzling developments in medicine. It has always harnessed technological breakthroughs in order to offer patients and staff physicians more and more effective means of research. In 2009, through a very ambitious reform that will prepare it to face a new stage in its prodigious development, the profession will show that it is still able to evolve and reassess its methods.
JIB will once again make it possible for you to remain competitive by offering you contact with all your suppliers unsurpassed by any other trade show, high quality conferences on the major theme `the Biology of Cancers`, and a tremendous platform for exchanges with your fellow members and representatives.
The 54th International Biology Days (JIB) will be held at the CNIT - Paris la Defense on November 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th 2009 (November 3rd is dedicated solely to the scientific congress).
Combining a growing three-day trade fair (Nov. 4th to 6th) and a top-level four-day scientific congress (Nov. 3rd to 6th), JIB brings together in a single place every year a growing number of hospital and private sector biologists, companies, researchers, technicians, and interns In 2008, close to 10,000 attended (23% from abroad) to get information, share their experience, and discover the technical innovations of 178 exhibitors (suppliers of material and reagents for laboratories, computer engineering and maintenance companies, service providers, and associations, etc.).
The BioMI pavilion, Biologie Moleculaire Initiative (Molecular Biology Initiative), created in 2008, is continuing its development, and this year to gain a better understanding of the scientific and medical potential of nanotechnologies JIB is creating for the first time Nano in Bio.
Hugely successful in the past, with a growth rate since 2007 of 39%, the Congress will gather the top-level French, British and American specialists dealing with a compelling main theme: The Biology of Cancer .
Furthermore, to promote scientific production, JIB has for the first time issued a Call for Posters around a panel of experts and is organising the Best Poster Prize.
