HISTORY
OF ETP SYMPOSIUM INC.
The ETP Symposium was initiated as part of a Genome Canada
project sponsored by MDS Sciex, Genome Alberta and Genome
Prairie. Its major theme was to have world-renown
scientists present papers on their experiences with novel
technologies that have, or will have a major influence on
research in the life sciences. The popularity of the
original two symposia led to the creation of a
not-for-profit entity, ETP Symposium Inc., who now is
responsible for organizing the symposium on a biennial
basis. The theme remains the same: alerting scientists in
the life sciences to advances in new technology that could
have a significant impact on their research activities.
The original founders of ETP are Dr. William (Bill)
Davidson and Janette Champ.
