Become part of the San Diego Conference tradition by joining your colleagues at this special event.

2006 San Diego Conference–Education, Networking, Exhibits

The Organizing Committee has invited speakers on the cutting edge to provide a look at the latest probe and molecular diagnostic tools. The program has been assembled in five sessions: Sample Preparation, Amplification, Detection, Multiplexing and Applications. Each features presentations of up and coming technologies by recognized experts. Plus, the Committee has built in more time for networking and visiting the posters and exhibits.

THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY BANQUET, FEATURING DAVID BRIN, PHD
Join your colleagues at this banquet to celebrate 20 years of the San Diego Conference and 20 years of the application of molecular and genetic technologies to diagnosis. We will recognize the pioneers that conceived of the conference and who produced many of the early programs. And we will have a fascinating and enjoyable dinner presentation from David Brin, noted (and successful!) author of science fiction and science books, many using genetics as a theme. His novel, The Postman was made into a feature film starring Kevin Costner.
