The University of Arizona Office of Research, Discovery and Innovation (RDI) has updated the times and agenda for its second annual UA Core Facilities Fair hosted Tuesday, Feb. 20, at the UA BIO5 Institute, Room 103. Hours for the fair now run from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., which includes a networking reception, or mixer, at 4:30 in the lobby of the new BioSciences Research Laboratory building.
Come find out how UA Cores can impact your research.
Opportunities to learn include:
- Vendor presentations on emerging technologies directed to the UA community and researchers in the region
- Faculty/staff presentations: “Discovery and Innovation Using UA Core Facilities”
- Poster presentations focused on UA RDI Cores and related UA Core Facilities
- Lunch and networking mixer in the new Biosciences Research Laboratories (BSRL) building
Kimberly Espy, PhD, and Neal Armstrong, PhD, UA senior and associate vice presidents for research, will provide the opening and closing remarks. Roberta Diaz-Brinton, PhD, director, UA Center for Innovation in Brain Science, will offer the keynote address at 1 p.m. And Jennifer Kehlet Barton, PhD, BIO5 director, will offer an overview of the new BSRL facilities (adjacent to the Keating and Medical Research Building) at 3:40 p.m.
