The 2008 zebrafish meeting (June 25-29, Madison) will introduce workshops on specialized topics proposed by the community. These will be organized in two sessions, each with up to 5 workshops running concurrently. Workshops will last two hours, and might consist of 3 or 4 short (e.g. 15 min) talks, with extensive time for discussion.

To propose a topic, email zfmeeting@gmail.com (include name and affiliation). We will invite you to be a blog author and describe your proposal in a new post. If you want to comment on a topic, or propose a change, simply comment on the relevant post. Be warned: you may end up organizing the workshop!

We will accept new topics through 25 Jan 2008. The blog will remain open for comments through 1 Feb 2008, when the meeting organizers will choose a final list of workshop topics.

Tools for assessing infection and immune response

I propose a workshop on "Molecular tools for assessing infection and immune response". Such a workshop could focus on recently developed "lineage tracer" transgenic lines, antibodies and/or flow cytometry sorting strategies for identifying and purifying hematopoietic lineages. The workshop could also include the development of new pathogen models as well as recent advancements in established pathogens.

I agree this is an important topic and I would be very interested in attending this workshop. The challenge of producing antibodies to zebrafish extracellular CD markers has been particularly vexing, and seems like it should be a surmountable problem.
