Please let us know if your institution is interested in supporting the Northeast Regional Life Sciences Core Directors (NERLSCD) 2012 Meeting that will be held October 24 - 26, 2012.

The NERLSCD meeting has emerged as one of the best annual regional gatherings 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 are presentations and discussion forums on operational issues facing biotechnology core laboratories. There are technical workshops on genomics, proteomics, imaging, and other technologies. A core facility poster session offers an opportunity for learning about regional life sciences shared resources and services. The 2011 meeting had 157 attendees from 60 institutions in 20 states.

Funding for the NERLSCD meeting is provided by sponsoring academic and non-profit institutions, registrations fees, and an NIH scientific conference grant. No commercial vendor support is solicited or accepted for the meeting in order to facilitate creation of a meeting environment that fosters informal and informative discussion and networking between core directors without influence or pressure from vendor representatives
