Ft. Detrick Bio Research Edcuation & Career Symposium

NICBR EDUCATION & CAREER SYMPOSIUM

Wednesday, November 4th
(YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER BY OCTOBER 1)
9am - 3pm
Fort Detrick (Transportation will be provided)

Students interested in careers in medical and biological research and biodefense should not miss this event sponsored by the National Interagency Confederation for
Biological Research (NICBR), a partnership of government agencies with laboratories at Fort Detrick, including:
- US Army
- National Cancer Institute
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Agriculture
- US Navy
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The goal of the program is to present an overview of research being performed by the various NICBR
partners, through presentations and laboratory tours, and to provide information on educational and employment opportunities.

During the morning, representatives of the
various NICBR laboratories will describe their research programs and opportunities for internships, fellowships and employment. At lunchtime, participants will have the opportunity to chat with the speakers and obtain
additional information. After lunch, we offer tours of the various laboratories.

Because of security concerns, it will be necessary for Fort Detrick to carry out standard "background checks," so all participants are required to REGISTER BY OCTOBER 1st at:
