In the morning we will visit a brand new Novartis facility gearing up to make influenza vaccine in cell cultures instead of chicken eggs. A mid-day shuttle will take some participants to RDU airport by Noon while the rest of the group gets lunch. In the afternoon, we'll see some more plant biotech, possibly including pizza mushrooms and sea coral.

Cost: Free, with breakfast and lunch included. (Please indicate half-day, whole day when you register)
