5th RSC Analytical Biosciences Early Career Researcher Meeting

Thursday 22 March 2018, 10.00AM

The meeting will be held on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd March 2018

Location: Department of Chemistry

Welcome to the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Biosciences Group Early Career Researcher Meeting (ECRM2018) at the University of York. The meeting aims to engage early career researchers in debate and discussions about all areas of analytical biosciences, and provide the opportunity to network with other researchers in the field.

Plenary speakers will begin each session with an exciting founding perspective and vision of a technique, followed by peer-reviewed papers from early career researchers. Together, this will provide an overview of current research into new technologies and applications.

We aim to give delegates a broad overview of the current state of the art for analytical techniques, with detailed examples of their applications in biosciences. As such, each contribution will aim to demonstrate the quality and value of each methodology.
