BioBarCamp

BioBarCamp is a unconference focused on life sciences, biotechnology, synthetic biology, personalized genomics & medicine, bioinformatics, do-it-yourself biology and related topics.

Attendance is free, but registration is necessary as there is only space for 75 participants, and meals will be provided (depending on available funds from sponsors).

Register by adding your name to the participant list on the BioBarCamp Google Group.

Schedule:

Stay tuned for details on the exact start times, but count on the entire day on August 7 and the afternoon/evening of August 6. The session schedule will be determined on August 6.
