The Fifth Annual Symposium in Virology
Nebraska Center for Virology
October 7, 2005
UNL Student Union
The Nebraska Center for Virology (NCV), formed in the fall of 2000,
combines the expertise and facilities of Nebraska’s leading
biomedical research institutions: University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Creighton University.
NCV was formed to establish a nationally recognized center of biomedical
research excellence by creating an infrastructure linking the virology
programs of these three institutions and attracting to Nebraska promising
new investigators with similar research interests. Our Fifth Annual
Symposium in Virology will include formal presentations by five distinguished
speakers.
Attendees are invited to present posters.
Registration
is free. Advanced
registration is required.
You will receive registration confirmation via email.
