ARM 2006

2006 Annual Research Meeting

Dates: 12-16 September

Venue: Sao Paulo, Brazil

The Generation Challenge Program 2006 Annual Research Meeting was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil from 12-16 September. This year over 180 scientists from around the world congregated at the Caesar Business Hotel to discuss and plan GCP activities. Most Principal Investigators gave a presentation on their projects; PDFs of those presentations can be found below.

Photos of the posters from this year's poster session can also be found below. We will be adding PDFs of the posters as they are sent to us.
