2023 Canadian Screening Consortium Symposium

The Centre for High-throughput Chemical Biology is proud to host the inaugural Canadian Screening Consortium Symposium, in celebration of our 5 year anniversary! The CSCS is open to all trainees and researchers interested in the areas of high-throughput screening, laboratory automation, and early drug development. This year, the symposium will be on Friday, October 20 from 9 am - 4:30 pm at the Halpern Centre on the Burnaby campus of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.

Trainees are invited to submit an abstract for a short talk (15 min). Selected talks have a chance to win a Travel Award. Please indicate at the time of registration whether you would like to be considered, and submit an abstract for review (max 250 words).
