As we do not expect any future changes on this website, we decided to transfer it to a static archive. This might result in some errors if you want to use interactive or non-static features of this website. We are sorry for that, but this measure will ensure that this site’s information stays available online.

The presentation slides of most of the conference presentations are online available on the program page. We would like to thank all the oral and poster presenters for their interesting work, and all the participants for their active participation.

Hope to meet you again at the next LBS conference in January 2018, at Zurich, Switzerland. More details regarding the LBS conference will be available soon.
