About this Event
35th Annual Plant Molecular Biology Retreat
September 6-8, 2024
Holiday Inn Resort Wrightsville Beach
Keynote Speaker: Lars Østergaard, John Innes Centre
The PMB Retreat is a weekend-long event held at the beginning of the academic year. The program is designed to highlight the research activities of new consortium members - academic and corporate scientists - and to introduce these members to North Carolina's community of plant molecular biologists. The program includes research lectures given by consortium members, a keynote address by an internationally renowned scientist, and informal "chalk talks" presented by faculty, postdoctoral research associates, graduate students and corporate scientists.
All participants are encouraged to present a Chalk Talk (an informal presentation) on their current research or ideas for future research. In keeping with the spirit of chalk talks, no formal posters will be allowed, but a minimal number of prepared figures may be used in the chalk talks if the speakers consider them essential. Chalk talks are great vehicles for communication.
**Chalk Talk and Invited Speaker Titles & Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format to [email protected] no later than 3:00 pm on Friday, August 16, 2024.**
