[IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] Webinar invitation on LAMP applied for plantpathology

The EMPHASIS <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stakeholder-dialogue-to-foster-investment-in-agriculture-and-ipm-tickets-23983928576?aff=utm_source%3Deb_email%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dnew_event_email&utm_term=eventname_text%20> project would like to invite you to our new * webinar series*, which will be launched *at the end of this month*. The first webinar ‘*In-field diagnostics – the Genie and the LAMP’ <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-field-diagnostics-the-genie-and-the-lamp-tickets-28856901770> will be held on the 30th of November 2016 (15:00 CET).* The session will be delivered by Fera <http://fera.co.uk/index.cfm>, to introduce LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) technology and its use for plant disease early detection. LAMP is a DNA amplification technology which enables rapid and sensitive detection and when run on the Genie III platform enables detection of pests and diseases outside of the laboratory at any point in the agri-food chain where decisions are being made. Target audience are research students, researchers, agri-business and forestry experts, farmers and foresters and any other person interested in being introduced to this portable molecular diagnostic tools on plant diseases. The webinar is *free of charge* and places are limited, therefore registrations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
