Third Annual NCIBI Research Meeting

The National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics held its Third Annual Research Conference on April 29 and 30, 2008 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The meeting was attended in person by 80 participants, including members of our scientific advisory board and science and program officers from NIH. Our use of interactive remote transmission of the live presentations of slides, talks and audio was a successful addition this year and was appreciated by 20 participants who were not able to attend the meeting in person.
