NIH Research Festival Biomedical Vendor Workshops
NIH has invited vendors to offer a workshop/seminar that dives into the research done with their technology, or ways to improve workflows. These are all educational events. Here is a schedule for the vendor workshop series. Please visit the NIH Calendar of Events for more details.
The workshops are located in the FAES Academic Center. The classrooms are in the academic center below the FAES Terrace.
