WHO SHOULD REGISTER?
HHMI HQ has a meeting capacity of 175 persons. Given the size of our community, this means that we invite 1 faculty member to represent each SEA institution. You may nominate a second faculty member to attend, in-person, in particular for schools offering both the PHAGES and GENES projects. An invitation will be extended to the second person based on space availability.
HOW TO REGISTER
A registration link was sent by email to all SEA faculty on March 25th. You can request this link by emailing info@seaphages.org. HHMI Travel Services will use this information to contact the participants and begin arranging travel.
