Program:
The Molecular Design Institute (MDI) of the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and UCSF Cystic Fibrosis Research and Development Program announce a three day meeting organized by Professor Frank Szoka, Philip Felgner, and Leaf Huang to assess current synthetic gene transfer vehicles and ask how they may be improved using new chemical, computational, and molecular biology techniques. Scientists who devise gene carriers and experts at the interface of chemistry, functional biology and drug discovery, including computational experts, are invited to attend. Selected presenters of posters will be asked to present a synopsis of their work at the meeting.
Registration :
Registration is US$1050. (corporate) or US$525. (non-profit) including continental breakfast and lunch each day and dinner Wednesday evening. Please register early, space is limited. Conference fees are waived for Corporate Scholars Program members.
