Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium

Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium (BIOT-2008)

October 17-18, 2008

Arlington, Texas

Introduction

The Program Committee would like to invite you to participate in the Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium (BIOT-2008) on October 17-18 in Arlington, Texas. BIOT-2008 is the fifth in a series of successful symposia held yearly. Starting from the first symposium in 2004, BIOT has attracted participants from all over the United States, Canada and outside North America.

Research and development in biotechnology requires the collaboration of scientists and engineers in the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. This symposium brings together scientists, engineers and scholars from relevant fields with practitioners from industry in order to help each group to understand progress made in the area as a whole.

 Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium

Posters

There will be a poster session during BIOT-2008. Students, faculty and other researchers are welcome to submit posters on ongoing research on any topic in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics for display during BIOT-2008. Abstracts of the posters will be printed in the proceedings, and the authors of selected abstracts will be invited to give an oral presentation during the meeting (please see the Call for Posters). At least one of the authors must be registered for the poster to be displayed during the symposium.
