Vixen Bio invites you to join its first free scientific networking and knowledge event just across the Technology Park in Zwijnaarde, Ghent! At Vixen Bio, we believe innovation begins with sharing experiences, learning new methodologies, and expanding knowledge together. Whether you’re new to the field or an experienced researcher, science keeps evolving -and we’re here to make it accessible for all innovators.
Our open event will focus on advanced immune analytics and novel approaches to (bio-)assays that accelerate drug development toward safer and more effective therapies.
Join us
Location Across Technology Park, Bollebergen 2B, Zwijnaaerde (Ghent)
