What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : |
There were some question about the effect and the mechanism of IR/MAR on protein production and expression. one PhD student advised me for using signal peptide in construct for having better expression |

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
As I was attended in the conference with my professor, Dr Mohammad Hossein Sanati from national institute of genetic engineering and biotechnology and and also one of my friends on behalf of Royan institute the collaborations will continue from these two institute. There were some scholarships and grants from companies and universities for PhD students |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Travel expenses was provided by myself and hotel was booked by congress but there was some problems that made it unpleasant because the time of our arrival time and the hotel reservation was different which made some mistakes for us. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
Scientifically it was a useful conference specially it was focused on my field of expertise. It was a good opportunity to share ideas and become familiar with new strategies and techniques. According to the expression systems that can be used for protein production and the reality that protein expression in mammalian cells is more efficient specially because of the folding and glycosylation of proteins in this system but there are some disadvantages including low yield and high cost of these systems some alternative will be present in the conference such as prokaryotes with folding and glycosylation systems |
