The ISTT journey: from Barcelona to Guangzhou, now it is time for China! The TT2013 meeting

The ISTT journey: from Barcelona to Guangzhou, now it is time for China! The TT2013 meeting

The International Society for Transgenic Technologies (ISTT) was founded shortly after the Transgenic Technology (TT) meeting in Barcelona (TT2005). Since then, the ISTT family has been fortunate to visit several countries, every ~18 months. In 2007 we went to Brisbane (TT2007).  In 2008, we visited Toronto (TT2008). In 2010 we returned to Europe and held the TT2010 meeting in Berlin. For 2011 we visited the USA for the first time, and organized the TT2011 meeting in St Pete Beach (Florida). And, now, the next TT meeting (TT2013) is planned for China, in Guangzhou. This has been one of our aims and challenges, since the foundation of the ISTT, namely, holding a TT meeting in Asia, in China. Now it has become a reality. The 11th Transgenic Technology meeting (TT2013) will be held in Guangzhou (China), on 25-27 February 2013, organized by Prof. Ming Zhao (Chair) (Southern Medical University, Guangzhou) and his Organizing and Advisory Committees, immediately after celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Snake. More than 30 speakers have confirmed their participation, to discuss about ES cells, iPS cells, targeted nucleases (ZFNs and TALENs), cryopreservation and reproduction techniques, running a transgenic facility, mouse genetics, epigenetics, ethics and animal welfare, transgenesis in other vertebrates, animal models of disease, etc… among many other interesting topics. At the TT2013 meeting, the ISTT will award the 9th ISTT Prize for outstanding contributions to transgenic technologies to Prof. Allan Bradley,  Director Emeritus of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI), in Hinxton (UK), and leader of the Mouse Genomics Team at WTSI.

In addition, a 3-day hands-on practical workshop (28 February-2 March 2013) will be offered in Guangzhou after the TT2013 meeting, addressing basic microinjection techniques, piezo injection, laser-assisted application, non-surgical implantation, mouse colony management and other interesting topics. This workshop is organized by Wenhao Xu (University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA), Chair,  Ming Zhao (Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China), Jing An (Cancer Institute, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China) and Liangping Li (Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China).

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the latest advances in animal transgenic by world experts! Time is going fast and first deadlines (15 October 2012), for registering at reduced fees, for submitting abstracts, for applying for ISTT registration awards and for nominating candidates for ISTT Young Investigator awards are rapidly approaching.

See you all in China!

More than 460 registered participants (about half of them members of ISTT) attended the past 9th Transgenic Technology meeting, organized by the ISTT, at the MDC, in Berlin-Buch, Germany. The conference itself (March 22-24) was followed by two dedicated workshops on “Colony Management Database Solutions” (March 25) and a practical “Hands-on” course on basic techniques in animal transgenesis (March 25-26). Prof. A. Francis Stewart was awarded the 7th ISTT Prize, sponsored by genOway,  for his outstanding contributions in the field of transgenic technologies. He delivered a delightful talk on his work on site-specific recombinases and recombineering over the past 20 years, delineating all the tools his lab has been providing to the scientific comunity that have become central for most post-genomic era applications.

Boris Jerchow, Chair of the TT2010 Organizing Committee, and his team must be congratulated for all their dedication and hard work over the past months that resulted in a lively and enjoyable meeting. The conference was full of discussions and, thanks to the careful talks prepared by all invited speakers, everybody could learn many different aspects of animal transgenesis at different levels, from basic technical or fundamental issues, to more ellaborated and sophysticated scientific applications. Berlin was a great venue for the TT2010 meeting. Such a cosmopolitan city, rich in history, events and locations, was a wonderful complement for social and cultural sightseeing besides the scientific and technical expectations of the TT2010 meeting itself.
