As more and stronger chemicals have been introduced, our basic knowledge of the broader health impact of all these chemicals has not kept up with the rapid pace of innovation.
In an effort to increase engagement with the public, surrounding business community, and Rensselaer community in the life-saving and high-tech research ongoing at the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) at Rensselaer, a series of regular open sessions with Rensselaer researchers will begin on March 10. The first forum, “Making Medications Safer,” will begin with a light breakfast outside the CBIS Auditorium at 8 a.m. The new series will be called the Biotechnology Public Interest Forums.
