2009 Technical Conference and Review.pdf

MILES Co-directors and collaborative faculty cordially invite you to attend a meeting to introduce advanced research on interafces of synthetic macromolecules and biomolecules on the Virginia Tech.

Benefits of this conference to participating industry affiliates include:

• Early recruitment of exceptional students
• Earlyawareness of cutting edge research
• Potential for directed research collaborations
• Interactions with scientists with expertise in polymer chemistry, engineering, biochemistry, food science and nutrition and multidisciplinary understanding of other scientific disciplines
• Abstracts of current VT basic and applied reserach in oxidation in biological and macromolecular sciences and engineering
• Opportunities to contribute to the advancements of science at the interface of synthetic macromolecules and biomolecules

Participants will attend the conference at the Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center. The conference will begin at 8 am on April 13, 2009 with registration. .
