Research techniques and fields to be presented in this conference are: RNA identification, micro array analysis, population genetics techniques, family linkage, microscopy techniques, protein identification, tissue engineering, biomaterials, biomechanics, and clinical trials. Emphasis will be on application of this material to Voice and Speech Research.

Goals of the Conference:
1. Introduce participants to newer research techniques in cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, tissue engineering, and clinical trials.
2. Facilitate interaction between potential investigators and mentors. Help participants find mentors within fields of interest.
3. Provide mechanisms for research idea development using the tools discussed in the conference.
