ABRF

Sun 7th March - Thu 11th March 2021

Online, USA

As the largest international organization representing shared resource cores, the ABRF Annual Meeting is not to be missed! There are so many opportunities to network with core laboratory professionals of all disciplines, learn about the latest groundbreaking research and instrumentation, and develop a new set of skills.

With a focus on advanced technology, education, and cutting-edge research in shared scientific resource core labs worldwide, the ABRF annual meeting is a collaborative hub for technological innovation, sharing best practices, and professional development. The 2021 virtual annual meeting features content and connection opportunities, beginning with the opening keynote presentation from Tyler Jacks, with the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research MIT, Sunday afternoon, March 7 through the ABRF Annual Members' meeting, Thursday afternoon, March 11.  The meeting's program content includes the latest in bioinformatics, mass spectrometry based ‘omics, genomics, cytometry, imaging and core management.

Emphasizing the theme of multidisciplinary team science, the ABRF Annual Meeting offers scientific sessions and workshops to explore and discuss in-depth scientific and technology topics critical to biomolecular cores. With a focus on multidisciplinary research, scientific topics include Cryo EM, FLIM/FRET, multi-omics, 3D imaging, single cell ‘omics, spatial transcriptomics, cutting edge data science and the latest best practices in core administration for everyone. Featured plenary sessions bring to light scientific discoveries made possible through collaboration with core laboratories, and preview new technologies and applications for future discovery. The new ABRF Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award will be presented to the National Science Foundation's Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) in recognition of their efforts to enhance diversity in scientific research.
