2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic Synthetic Biology Symposium
Co-hosted by the SynBio at the University of Virginia and The MITRE Corporation, this meeting will bring together experts from industry, government, and academia. Join us to hear the latest research and of opportunities in SynBio in the mid-Atlantic (MD, DE, DC, VA, NC, SC, GA).
Due to security requirements at the meeting venue, registration will close October 20. No walk-ins or late registrations will be allowed. Non-citizen foreign nationals may be required to provide additional information to MITRE for security purposes.
