OPEN’s 10 Year Anniversary Seminar
We wish to invite you to celebrate OPEN’s 10 Year Anniversary with us, December 6th 2018. OPEN was initiated in 2008 as a collaboration between Odense University Hospital and Department of Clinical Research. Since then we have expanded to cover the entire Region of Southern Denmark and support researchers with facilities and guidance in a number of areas. More than 700 research projects currently benefits from the opportunities in OPEN and our biobank holds more than 540.000 biological samples.
This seminar will show the realm of OPEN projects comprising high quality research of regional, national, and international character and from different areas within health science. Moreover, there will be poster sessions inviting researchers and students to collaborate and exploit the vast amount of clinical data and samples collected by OPEN projects over the years.
The anniversary seminar consists of 35 oral presentations divided into five different parallel sessions. This includes invited international keynote speakers.
