CBC Science Day
DATE: April 22, 2011
TIME: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
LOCATION: Prentice Women’s Hospital Conference Center
250 East Superior Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611
CBC investigators and CBC-supported projects will be represented in scientific presentations and/or the poster session. The main goal of Science Day is to highlight the impact of CBC awards on research progress and to provide a platform for scientific exchange to researchers at CBC universities. In addition, Science Day will feature CBC-supported facilities, and the CBC Scholars will present posters describing their thesis research. The event is free of charge and is open to all researchers from UChicago, UIC and NU but pre-registration is required and will be limited to the first 250 attendees.
Come and join the CBC in this event!
Discounted parking will be available to Science Day attendees in C-Lot which is located directly south of Prentice Women’s Hospital. C-Lot can be entered from either East Superior (a one way running East) or from East Huron (a one way running west). The entrances to C-Lot are 222 East Superior and 222 East Huron. Please request a parking voucher at the Science Day registration desk located in the 3rd floor conference center of Prentice Women’s Hospital. Additional parking information can be found here.
