Dear Colleague, You and your colleagues are cordially invited to join us for the 15th Annual Structural Biology Symposium to be held at the Hotel Galvez on beautiful Galveston Island on Friday, March 19th, 2010. The meeting is organized by the Sealy Center for Structural Biology & Molecular Biophysics and co-sponsored by the Keck Center for Computational & Structural Biology. In previous years, over 300 scientists from the U.S. and abroad, have participated in the annual event. The goal of the symposia is to bring together leaders in all areas of structural biology to present current topics. The program of the symposium 2010 includes the following prominent speakers:
Keynote Speaker: Jack E. Johnson, Ph.D. Professor, Dept. of Molecular Biology Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA Philip N. Bryan, Ph.D, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Bethesda, MD Kay Choi, Ph.D., The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX John D.
