This event is chaired by an interdisciplinary KU Leuven team (chair prof. dr. ir. S. Van Huffel and co-chair prof. G. Naulaers, MD, PhD).

The main mission of ISOTT 2012 is to promote lively interdisciplinary discussions at a high scientific level and facilitate cross-fertilization between researchers from different fields such as cell metabolism, physics, engineering, biochemistry, clinical applications, muscle oxygenation, cancer, measurement technologies, oxygen transport modeling, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and brain oxygenation. An exciting program is lying ahead.

This year’s annual meeting comprises also 3 specific PhD treats:

1. A Monday’s Poster flash presentation for our Promising Local Young Talent
2. On Tuesday there will be a special and unique opportunity lunch session for PhD students to Meet-the-Experts
3. On Thursday the ISOTT’s Presidents’ Panel Discussion will discuss topics suggested by the students.
