Upcoming Events
[http://www.ibeweb.org/ IBE Annual Meeting], March 10-12, 2006, Tucson, Arizona: Special Sessions on Synthetic Biology
Share your latest research! Make new friends! Bask in the Arizona sun!
Jay Keasling (an instructor for the Berkeley iGEM team) will be the keynote speaker at the Institute of Biological Engineering annual conference in Tucson.
Drew Endy and Tom Richard are organizing a technical session on synthetic biology. We would love to have some iGEM teams represented, and welcome presentations about other current research from your labs. In addition to this oral session focused on synthetic biology, there is an open poster session (with awards for student posters in both graduate and undergraduate divisions) and a student essay competition on bioethics.
Details are available at http://www.ibeweb.org/. If you have questions about the conference or IBE, please contact Tom Richard <trichard@psu.edu>
