About
The NERLSCD meeting has emerged as one of the best annual regional gatherings for core facility directors, managers, staff and administrators to network with colleagues; learn about biotechnology advances and applications; to discuss the challenges faced in implementing shared research resources and to share stories of success.
The Northeast Regional Laboratory Staff & Core Directors (NERLSCD) is a chapter of the Association of Biomolecular Research Facilities (ABRF).
