The fifth annual Materials Research Laboratory Biological Conference will be held Nov. 2-3 at the laboratory on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. The MRL offers an array of characterization tools that enable a wide range of structural research in biological and advanced materials systems. To further educate current and future facility users in the number of options available to them, the fall workshop is devoted to biological inquiry and applications with a medical focus.
Sessions include presentations by Dr. Amy Wagoner-Johnson, Dr. Catherine Murphy, Dr. Rashid Bashir, Michael Miles, Dr. Aadell Akhtar, Dr. Ralph Nuzzo and Dr. Vasantha Reddi. There will also be presentations by vendors Kurt J. Lesker Co., Malvern Instruments, FEI Co. and Carl Zeiss Company, and competitive presentations by students and post-doctoral researchers covering areas of biology using Illinois’ core facilities.
To participate in the conference presentations, vendor fair, facility tours and fellowship with peers, register online. The cost is $25.
