6th Swine in Biomedical Research Conference
Dear Colleague:
It is with great pleasure I invite you to attend the 6th Swine in Biomedical Research Conference to be held at University of Maryland in Baltimore from September 23-25. This meeting represents the sixth (1995, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017) in a series of conferences that have highlighted the utility of porcine models in biomedical research.
Investigators with interest in using swine models for biomedical investigation, will find this to be a great conference to network and foster collaborations with industry and academic researchers. The current program with confirmed speakers and access to registration and abstract submission links can be found at www.swinebiomed.org.
This year we plan to offer limited "Young investigator awards" that cover registration costs and travel costs of graduate students and postdocs.Deadline for discounted registration and consideration of abstracts for platform talks and travel awards is: April 7, 2017.
Looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore.
With best regards,
Bhanu
