Decision Making can be challenging for Research Projects. Research Projects face a lot of uncertainty and low probability of success. Several methods of managing Research Projects have been utilized by Industry, Academia and National Agencies. These Research Management methods are necessary but...Read more
This conference brings together scientists across the quickly growing field of microbiome engineering. The conference integrates synthetic biology, systems biology, microbial ecology, and bioinformatics across a range of application spaces.
The absence of a specific hazard on a safety data sheet does not necessarily indicate the hazard’s nonexistence. Assessing chemical hazards via alternative methods is imperative.
