Meet the communities that drive research innovation

illustration of community logos

 

Join us at The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) in the DC Metro region and meet the communities at the frontiers of biology.

Preview new research technologies under development and be the first to hear about new discoveries, new disease models, and new insights into the fundamentals of biology.

TAGC brings together researchers from the C. elegans, Drosophila, mammalian, Xenopus, yeast, zebrafish, and population, evolutionary, and quantitative genetics research communities—along with those researching humans, plants, and agricultural species. At this unique conference, topic-driven and community-specific sessions alternate to foster collaboration and inspire fresh thinking.

Poster abstracts are due by 8 p.m. EST January 27, 2020.
