April 27, 2006 Networking Meeting
First ARBIOS meeting!
A networking meeting was held on April 27, 2006 on the UALR campus. It featured talks by prominent local researchers in the field of bioinformatics, short software demos, enlightning talks by students on their research, reports on upcoming events and conferences, resources for jobs and more. We had an excellent turn-out and hope to repeat it next year. Thanks to everyone who attended!

Here is the final schedule, with the presentations featured below in PDF format:
