Will be held in Paris from the 6th to 7th of May 2010


News Update:
  • 30/04/10: ViewPoint party on Thursday night at "bert's"in Bercy Village !

  • Methods in ZebraFish Behavior analysis

    Methods in ZebraFish Behavior analysis is the premier meeting for scientists willing to analyze zebrafish's behavioral or physiological data by mean of imaging techniques. This year we will also promote networking among European University and Industries willing to deploy ZebraFish in their facilities.


    High throughput ZebraFish studies involves an increasing number of labs around the world. But when setting up an experimental protocol, a number of challenges arise. Based on successful “user case” experience, the meeting presentations will highlight the key steps to design and analyze your experiment.


    • The presentations will be focused on the technical aspects of behavior analysis and will be followed by their related trainings.
    • New technologies in ZebraFish Behavior analysis will be demonstrated by the ViewPoint team.
    • The round tables will let us debate on the needs of the zebrafish community.

    Final Program

    >> The final Program is available here as a pdf document !

    Opening :
    Thursday 6. May, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
    Friday 7. May, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

    The scientific program committee now invites you to submit proposals for Symposia and Workshops. Contributions are welcome on a wide variety of topics that involves an automated method to screen Zebra Fish Phenotype, including (but not only!) :
    • Pharmacology and Toxicology
    • Neurobiology such as sleep research
    • Pain, Tolerance and dependence
    • Aging and degeneration
    • Regeneration and stem cells ( such as retina / OKN test)
    To submit your abstract please fill this form.
