Emerging Research Showcase: Genomes to Phenomes

NC State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences invites you to attend the next fully in-person Emerging Research Showcase: From Genomes to Phenomes - Ensuring Sustainability Amid Rapid Environmental Change.

Join us on Wednesday November 6, 2024 at The Conference Center at NCBiotech starting at 3:00pm EST as we apply a genetics lens to crop and animal production with a focus on sustainability. At this event, the focus will be on understanding how plant and animal genetics are expressed in, or modified for, different production systems.

Meet academic: industry teams that are bridging the gap between genetics and consumer-friendly traits that impact sustainability in our production systems.
