Pubmed Abstract
2010 Chemical and Biological Defense Science and Technology (CBD S&T) Conference: November 15-19, 2010
Business - DTRA frequently leverages the
capabilities and expertise found in both the private sector and
government,
strongly advocating relations with firms and businesses, including those
that
are small and disadvantaged, and other organizations of interest.
Learning
-
There will be more than 800 combined keynote, platform, and poster
presentations
of the latest and best developments in chemical and biological defense
research.
Networking - Opportunities for
collaboration and synthesis are
numerous.
Topic descriptions can be found online under the
Call for
Papers page. Abstracts must be submitted through
the conference website (http://cbdstconf2010.sainc.com/general_information/default.aspx) no later than 2 July 2010. A panel of
subject
matter experts will review each submission. Notifications of acceptance
will be
sent by the end of August 2010.
Upcoming Workshops
- Dengue/Flaviviruses: (PNWRCE, PSWRCE and RMRCE) – August 24-25, 2010; Portland, OR
- Toxins:
(MARCE) – date TBD; perhaps September in Washington,
DC.
Overnight accommodations at the Doubletree Hotel Bethesda are available. A free shuttle to/from the meeting site at USUHS and the Doubletree Hotel will be provided.

Announcement of the three Microbial Sequencing Centers awards
the three Microbial Sequencing Centers that have just been awarded contracts:
- The Broad Institute http://www.broad.mit.edu/seq/msc/
- J. Craig Venter Institute http://msc.jcvi.org/
- University of Maryland, Baltimore http://www.igs.umaryland.edu/?q=content/welcome
The goal of these centers is to provide rapid and cost-efficient production of high quality genome sequences of NIAID category A - C priority pathogens and invertebrate vectors of disease. The centers also offer genotyping platforms to identify genes that play a role in virulence, host-pathogen interaction and host susceptibility to infectious diseases.
NIAID will accept and review white papers to sequence microorganisms or their invertebrate vectors of infectious diseases that are considered agents of bioterrorism or cause emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases and related strains or species.
Investigators in academia, not-for-profit organizations, industry, and other government agencies worldwide may request microbial genome sequencing and genotyping services.
For further information on the services provided by the Microbial Sequencing Centers please visit: http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/LabsAndResources/resources/mscs/default.htm
Also, if you have any questions please feel free to contact Maria Giovanni (mgiovanni@niaid.nih.gov ) or Punam Mathur (mathurpu@niaid.nih.gov ).
The National Institutes of Health requires that all investigators funded by the NIH submit to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final peer-reviewed manuscripts. For more information, see http://researchadmin.uchicago.edu/about/announcement_publicaccess.shtml
The Nature Publishing Group, which produces the journal Nature and other publications, announced that it will offer a free service to deposit authors' pieces in PubMed Central and its British equivalent to comply with new requirements and many scientists' desire to have their work available free and online through open access archives.
