ASCB-IFCB Joint meeting in Philadelphia
USA – December 6-10, 2014
Dear Society Member,
Our meeting this year will be held jointly with the American Society of Cell Biology, from December
6-10, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. As the premier meeting for biomedical research world-
wide, ASCB/offers a great opportunity for you to learn about the latest research in your field and
network with leaders and peers in cell biology, biophysics, stem cells, and genomics, to name a few.
This meeting is a wonderful chance for you to present your science and to meet in person many of
the prominent names you know from the literature. It will also be a great occasion to promote cell
biology as a world science.
To encourage you to present your science in Philadelphia, the ASCB is offering 50% off ASCB mem-
bership to IFCB members. This qualifies you for the ASCB-member rates for registration and abstract
submission. ASCB also is offering special travel awards to attendees from developing nations. Every
constituent society in the IFCB has been invited to host an open information session in Philadelphia
where members can highlight training, visiting fellowship, and funding opportunities in their home
country.
As one attendee at the 2013 ASCB Annual Meeting noted, “The meeting is a perfect combination of
high-profile talks, networking opportunities, professional development, teaching resources, and FUN!”
We hope you will be able to join us in Philadelphia. To learn more about the 2014 ASCB/IFCB Mee-
