As currently planned, the program will have eight sessions devoted to oral presentations, together with two poster sessions for presentations which cannot be accommodated in the formal sessions. Selection of talks for the oral sessions will be made by the organizers in conjunction with the session chairpersons, from the submitted abstracts. For this reason, abstracts from accomplished junior and senior investigators are warmly invited. The status (talk/poster) of abstracts will be posted on our web site (below) as soon as decisions have been made. We have applied for funds from government and industry to partially support graduate students and postdocs.

We anticipate this conference is supported in part by funds provided by: TBA

Pricing:

Academic Package: $1485
Graduate/PhD Student Package: $1235
Corporate Package: $1905
Academic/Student No-Housing Package: $1005
Corporate No-Housing Package: $1280

We have funds to provide partial scholarships for individuals who are US citizens/permanent residents from minority groups under-represented in the life sciences. Please provide justification in writing to Maureen Morrow and state your financial needs. Preference will be given to those applying who submit abstracts to the meeting.
