Chemical Biology Area Research Conference (CBARC)

The second annual Chemical Biology Area Research Conference (CBARC) was held on January 12, 2024, at the I Hotel Conference Center on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus. The purpose of CBARC is to foster scientific discussions, spark new ideas, and promote collaborations. The January 2024 conference was attended by faculty and students from 15 Department of Chemistry research groups, with over 100 attendees. The conference agenda included six oral presentations by graduate students, as well as two poster sessions where members of all attending groups presented their research. Also in attendance were representatives of several industrial sponsors, whose generous support allowed us to reserve the Conference Center venue and cover the cost of lunch for everyone. The third annual CBARC will be on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
