This 2010 meeting will follow the same successful pattern as the prior meeting for leading researcher to gather and report on the latest cutting edge research currently being undertaken in the progressive field of DNA or Genetic Vaccines. However, it will be expanded to larger proportions. The Sheraton New Orleans Hotel on historic Canal Street, just steps from the French Quarter can accommodate our anticipated turnout. There will be an exhibit hall adjacent to the plenary room for sponsors and poster presentations where receptions and networking events will take place. Awards will be given to two poster presenters during the banquet. New in 2010 The International Society of DNA Vaccines will offer a limited set of competitive scholarship awards of up to $600 to students or post-docs from accredited institutions.
