Sunday, June 9, 7:00 - 8:00 am, in Meeting Room 12
The Program and Local Planning Committees have worked extremely hard to create a relevant and interesting scientific program for the 2019 In Vitro Biology Meeting and we hope that you enjoy the experience. We are now beginning to plan for the 2020 World Congress and want to hear from you. We depend on our attendees and members to propose topics for interesting sessions at future meetings. If you have ideas for next year's topics, please join us in planning for the 2020 World Congress program in San Diego, California next June! Everyone's input is welcome and your participation could shape next year's topics. A light continental breakfast will be provided

We hope the In Vitro Animal Cell Sciences Section has met your needs and if it did not, please seek us out during the meeting or email us with your concerns and suggestions. Thank you for your interest in the 2019 In Vitro Biology Meeting and we look forward to your continued participation in the In Vitro Animal Cell Sciences Section.
