    <div><br></div>
    <div>

    <li>Peter Emanuel, PhD: Dr. Emanuel is the Senior Research Scientist for Bioengineering in the Chemical Biological Center. Dr. Emanuel advises US. Army leadership on developments in synthetic biology and bioengineering and how they can be exploited to boost national defense.</li>
    </ul>
    <div>Again, the event is this Friday at 7 PM. The Webex link to join the event is on our my.UMBC page. This event is a great opportunity to learn more about this somewhat overlooked field in biology.</div>
