Following last year's extremely successful meeting Automated Biorepositories: Successful Models, LRIG is pleased to present a third event focused on this emerging area. This meeting will be held in the Groton CT area. We will feature tours of the Pfizer Kings Heights Technology Center facility including their sample management operations, Compound Liquid Store, and DNA & BioFluids Store. The Pfizer DNA & BioFluids Store is one of two large-scale automated biorepositories in the world, the other being the UK Biobank which was presented in this meeting last year. The technology exhibition, workshops, social networking time, and presentations will be held in the Groton Inn and Suites conference center just a short distance away. Transportation between the conference center and Pfizer will be provided.
