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.
