As part of the 15th Annual Genomics Forum, graduate students are invited to present their research poster to the life sciences community in BC. Hosted by Genome BC and the Student Biotech Network, the poster competition will feature an impressive display of graduate, post-doctoral and platform technology research posters in disciplines across the life sciences (not just genomics). Judges from across the life sciences sector will determine the top three presentations.<\/span>
\n<\/span> Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three posters.<\/span>
\n<\/span> Entries for the poster competition must be registered in advance. Complete info will be found on their website: www.thesbn.ca<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
