UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT - PARTNERSHIP FOR EXCELLENCE IN STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY PRESENTSNESS 2010
The 7th Annual North
Eastern Structure Symposium
Biophysics of
Protein Folding and Misfolding
Saturday, 16th October 2010University
of
Connecticut
Storrs Campus Biological Sciences/Physics Building, 91 North Eagleville Road Lectures in Chemistry A120, 55 North Eagleville Road Due to demand we have now reopened registration for the talks & lunch only. We have no more places left for poster or dinner registrations. We are pleased to
announce the 2010 North East Structure
Symposium
(NESS).
This annual symposium series during the New England 'Fall Foliage
Season' is
intended as a venue to share expertise on new methodologies and
developments in
structural biology. We anticipate
that the meeting will offer an opportunity for students and senior
investigators to foster new interactions and collaborations. Each
year's
symposium
covers
a
defined
topic. The
theme
for
the
7th
annual
NESS, which will be held Saturday, October 16, 2010 on the Storrs
campus of the
University of Connecticut, is Biophysics of Protein Folding and
Misfolding. Sub-sessions include Folding Motifs, Assemblies of
Supramolecular
Complexes,
and
Amyloidogenic
Proteins.
We have assembled an exciting roster of
speakers and look forward to having you join us in a stimulating and
thought-provoking symposium. The symposium will also feature a
poster-session
for students with prizes awarded for the best posters. Please
share
information about NESS with colleagues that might be interested in this
event. PLENARY SPEAKERSMaurice E. Mueller Institute - University of Basel From nuclear pore complex structure to nucleocytoplasmic transport - towards a bottom-up approach Department of Chemistry - University of Cambridge The Generic Character of Protein Misfolding
