ABRF Annual Meeting 2019

The ABRF (Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities) 2019 Annual Meeting will take place in Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio from March 23-26, 2019. The Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center is located near the banks of the River Walk in downtown.

The ABRF meeting is not just for OMICS-centric researchers! ABRF is expanding in new directions making it the must-attend meeting for core facility professionals of all disciplines. Highlights of the ABRF annual meeting include scientific sessions and workshops that allow presenters and attendees to explore and discuss in-depth critical scientific and technical issues encountered in biomolecular core facilities. Featured plenary sessions bring to light the discoveries made possible through core facilities and provide a preview of new technologies that will drive future discovery. Poster sessions provide further opportunities to network with colleagues sharing scientific interests and operational concerns.

The meeting features three main scientific tracks (mass spectrometry & proteomics, genomics, light microscopy/imaging) and an administrative track (management, professional development and compliance/regulatory issues). We are including an additional track devoted to special sessions that focus on bioinformatics, flow cytometry, monoclonal antibodies and other technologies available through core facilities.

This year we'll have a special panel introducing the Bio-Link.org community to ABRF. To learn more about the panel read: Community colleges: the new frontier for advanced biotechnology education and laboratory services

In addition to the regular meeting ABRF also has workshops the day of the meeting. To learn more please visit the Satellite Workshops page.

And, for those interested, registration includes a ticket the closing social Tue, Mar 26, 7:00-11:00pm at the LDR & Grotto, a beautiful indoor-outdoor venue located in the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
