Analytik Jena Receives Good Response to its "Life Science Conference" this Year in Jena
Jena, May 7, 2012 — On May 3 and 4, 2012, Analytik Jena AG held its 2012 "Life Science Conference". For the second time, the Company sponsored this event for exchanging news and views, offering clients and scientists from the German-speaking region in particular the chance to learn about current scientific research topics and analytical trends from the world of biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. This year, the Company welcomed nearly 150 attendees to its group headquarters in Jena; demand for this relatively new event series has thus grown appreciably.
In his welcome speech to the attendees, Klaus Berka, CEO of Analytik Jena AG, noted: "It is true that we have just begun our ventures in life sciences, which is growing rapidly around the world. But we are making good progress as a renowned systems provider, and the incredible amount of interest in this event proves that we are on the right track."
Thanks to the success of the 2010 "Life Science Conference", this event quickly gained a reputation as a platform for discussions on life science topics and innovative research issues. The response after two conference days was also very positive.
Dr. Ulrich Busch from the Bavarian State Agency for Health and Food Safety (LGL), one of the conference speakers, explained: "This event was very successful and interesting. It included everything from practical research topics to the future of Analytik Jena."
As Angela Hilbert from the Friedrich Löffler Institute in Wusterhausen noted, "It was a positive event for me. The innovative and forward-looking technologies really impressed me, and will be of great interest to me in my further work."
Dr. Antje Labes, GEOMAR noted: "An all-around great event! The seminar was very in-depth and offered a mix of very interesting participants. I feel this is a unique conference for the German-speaking region. And since I am a user myself, I really enjoyed visiting Analytik Jena's headquarters."
