Emerging Technologies Satellite Meeting: February 21, 2016
The satellite meeting will highlight innovative and emerging technologies that will be useful to study the human pancreas. Many of the speakers will discuss technologies that are part of HIRN-related projects and have never used to study the human pancreas. Two keynote speakers will highlight technologies being used to better understand biology, both normal and abnormal, of other organs.
We encourage nPOD investigators, HIRN investigators, and anyone interested in the human pancreas or type 1 diabetes to attend this exciting satellite meeting and the nPOD meeting that follows.
Registration for this meeting is complimentary but it is separate than registration for the JDRF nPOD Scientific Meeting. You must register here by January 21, 2016 to ensure your spot.
