Understanding Biology Through Structure

May 13 - 17, 2017

This event is now closed. Structural biology is entering an exciting new phase. We are witnessing over 10,000 new structures per year. Powerful new cryo-EM and X-ray laser approaches promise to vastly improve the ease of structure determination for large molecules and complexes and to provide a time-resolved view of molecular machines at work. Using these tools and combining them with functional assays, we are making ever more rapid progress in understanding key biological processes and how they can be manipulated. 

The meeting will run from 5:00 PM May 13 through the evening of May 16, 2017 with departure May 17 and will be held at the Eldorado Hotel and Spa, Santa Fe, NM.  

Register by April 17, 2017 to secure your seat, space is limited to 150 attendees.

Goal of the Symposium

This symposium, sponsored by the New Mexico Consortium and Los Alamos National Laboratory, will bring together students and senior investigators developing new methods for structural analysis, determining new structures, and using structures to understand biology. The symposium will encourage and facilitate discussion and interactions between junior and senior scientists.
