Registration is now closed. But you can still attend the symposium without registering!
Dr. Eva Nogales (Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, HHMI / University of California, Berkeley) is a pioneer in the application of cryo-electron microscopy to characterize the structures of complex biological assemblies. her talk will be "Structural analysis of mitosis: engaging of microtubules and kinetochores".
Dr. Timothy A. Cross, Director, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Program, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Tallahassee will talk on "Lipid bilayers: an essential environment for the understanding of membrane protein structure-function relationships".
Dr. William T. Heller, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will introduce the unique facilities available at Oak Ridge for structural biology..
Dr. Christina Furdui (Wake Forest): Temporal Resolution of Protein Signaling Events
Dr. David Bevan (VT Biochemistry): Application of Molecular Dynamics Simulations to Studies of Protein-Membrane Interactions.
Dr. J. Li (VT Biochemistry): Melanization pathway in insects.
Dr. J. Xing (VT Biological Sciences): Slow conformational fluctuations: from molecular to biological network dynamics.
Poster submissions on any aspect of structural biology and related topics are encouraged from faculty and students.
Oxford Diffraction are sponsoring a prize of $200 for the best poster from a student! Submit the title of your poster on the registration page; you must register to present a poster.
Registration is now closed. Pre-registration was required to submit a poster, or to have lunch. But you can still attend the symposium and reception without registering!
There will be a commercial exhibition at the poster session on Friday 27th March. Companies wishing to exhibit and/or sponsor the symposium should contact rangel@vt.edu for further details of the opportunities available.
