Please note the update to include final poster presentations (from Dr. Nappi and colleagues at the UC, San Diego and from Lisa Benson at UCLA) inadvertently left off the initial list of accepted posters. Apologies to the presenters and thanks for their patience. (Clearly I have unresolved issues with the University of California.)

I have served on the Program Committee for ISITDBT for the past five years. This year’s posters are the most interesting batch of posters that I have reviewed yet for ISITDBT. But just in case you think that I may be a bit biased this year, here are the poster titles for the posters that have been accepted for the Poster Session at ISITDBT 2012 in National Harbor, MD on November 15, 2012. Check out what people have been working on in the DBT community!

If you see something that you want to learn more about, please take advantage of reduced early-bird registration fees that remain in place until Oct 10th and come to ISITDBT to talk to the poster presenters!

Best Regards,
Adam
