Responsive Nanomaterials SLAM!

Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - 12:45pm to 2:45pm

LSL S330-340

Join us for an afternoon of networking around research on structured and responsive nanomaterials. Learn what others are doing and give a short "slam" talk about your   biological, bio-inspired, or bio-engineered emulsions, coacervates, colloids, assemblies, gels, or cells. Systems with applications to drug delivery are particularly encouraged!

Agenda: The first hour will be devoted to short research talks. There will be plenty of time for discussion and a coffee break, followed by a breakout session, primarily for faculty, on collaborative funding opportunities. Register for the slam here before April 5!

NOTE: A light lunch will be available starting at 12:30 pm, coffee break will be around 2 pm.

Register for the SLAM!
