The conference is on the UBRP website! So...if you want to see your abstract, poster and picture or were unable to attend on January 26, 2008, you can view them at: https://ubrp.arizona.edu/conferences/08/default.cfm

Many thanks goes to Dean Joaquin Ruiz, College of Science for the keynote address, Dr. Charley Putnam, MCB for taking photographs, Michael Waggenheim, MCB support systems analyst for getting the conference on the web, Roxie Catts, Director, Advising Resource Center for organizing the registration table, Genevieve Kenney for assembling the booklet of abstracts, assigning students to poster boards, ordering food and more, and Jennifer Darrow for helping in a variety of ways too numerous to list!

Also thanks to artist, Xuzheng He, for allowing us to use his painting and UA graphic designer, Cheryl Ryan, for incorporating the painting into the poster and invitations commemorating the conference. Mr. He is the father of UBRP alum Xi He '98 (UBRPer in Dr. Restifo's lab, Neurobiology and Dr. Gillies lab, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics).

Especial thanks to those UBRP volunteers who helped with registration and sign-in, t-shirt sales, refreshments, set up and clean up. These volunteers kept everything running smoothly. And, of course, thanks to the UBRPers and their sponsors for presenting their research at the conference.

If you did not get a poster or conference booklet, please call the UBRP office at 520-621-8510, and we will be happy to provide you with one.
