Like 2020, AABB 2021 is all virtual. That's why this year, NYBCe would like to encourage the same engagement opportunities as previous in-person conferences. Here we have a list of all of leaders and researchers who welcome your questions and inquiries about their educational sessions, presentations, and poster research. Following your review of NYBCe's participation this year found at nybc.org/AABB2021, we look forward to hearing from you!
