FCBIS History

This day-long symposium, which began in 2008, is designed to highlight research in the mid-Atlantic region and provide an intimate environment to foster discussion at all levels. The schedule typically includes invited and submitted talks as well as poster sessions. There is no charge to attend this symposium, and everyone – Research Scientists, Faculty, Post-Docs and Graduate Students – involved in research from academic, government and local industrial institutions is encouraged to participate.
