Welcome to the Lehigh Valley Molecular and Cell Biology Society (LVMCBS) Meeting!
The Lehigh Valley Molecular and Cell Biology Society was established by two DeSales University faculty members, Lara Goudsouzian and Joshua Slee, in 2016. The LVMCBS goal is to promote open communication and facilitate collaboration between faculty and undergraduate students interested in molecular life sciences at regional colleges and universities in Eastern Pennsylvania.
The LVMCBS meeting has been supported by the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC), which has helped to decrease cost of attendance and cover meeting organization expenses. This event provides a forum outside of their home institutions for students to disseminate their data or research plans while simultaneously learning how others approach scientific problems.
This year’s meeting is also supported and organized by Lafayette College. The organizers, Laurie Caslake and Manuel Ospina-Giraldo, would like to thank the Biology department and especially our administrative assistant, Ms. Charlotte Gilbert, for her help in preparing for this meeting.
The meeting will take place at Lafayette College (Rockwell Integrated Sciences Center, fourth floor) in Easton, PA, on 22 April 2026, between 5:30 and 9:00 PM. The LVMCBS extends an invitation to everyone with an interest in the molecular and cellular biology field to attend the meeting.
