Please join us at the fourth annual Northeast Regional Life Sciences Core Directors (NERLSCD) meeting that will be held November 9-11, 2009, at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY.
The NERLSCD 2009 meeting will be a regional forum for core facility directors and managers to network with colleagues, to learn about biotechnology advances and applications, and to discuss the challenges and results of implementing shared research resources. There will be presentations and discussion forums on operational issues facing biotechnology core laboratories. There will be scientific sessions and technical workshops on genomics, proteomics, imaging, and other technologies, including next generation sequencing, microarrays, proteomics, metabolomics, optical imaging, flow cytometry, stem cells, nanobiotechnology, and bioinformatics. A core facility poster session will offer an opportunity for learning about regional life sciences shared resources and services. Participants will be able to post and to learn of core facility related employment opportunities. A satellite workshop before the main conference will focus on laboratory robotics. Tours will be given of core facilities. There will be an opening reception and numerous opportunities to network with colleagues.
We look forward to seeing you at the NERLSCD 2009 meeting!
