Dear Colleagues, I would like to draw your attention on behalf of Dr. Guillermo Calero that the 70th Annual Pittsburgh diffraction conference will be held in the beautiful state of California this coming September. This meeting will bring together many great speakers in the field of structural biology of biomacromolecules. Please follow this link ( http://www.pittdifsoc.org/PDC_2012/) for more information and registration. Below is the details.
The Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference September 30th - October 2nd, 2012 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Menlo Park, CA The 70th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference is a three day event featuring lecture and poster presentations covering a wide range of subject matter of interest to researchers in chemistry, physics and structural biology. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers in all areas of fundamental and applied diffraction and crystallographic research to present current topics. The program of the 2012 conference includes nanocrystallography, femtosecond diffraction methods, hybrid methods for structural biology research, new ideas in crystallography and exciting macromolecular structures. Conference social events include an opening reception on September 30th and a banquet on October 1st. The conference will preceed the 2012 SSRL/LCLS Users'Meeting and Workshops October 3rd - 6th. Student poster abstracts may be considered for an oral presentation and are eligible for the Chung Soo Yoo Award. For more information and a list of invited speakers please visit our website at: http://www.pittdifsoc.org/PDC_2012/ The PDS is also accepting nomination for the 2013 Sidhu Award. The Sidhu Award, in memory of Professor Surhain Sidhu, honors significant contributions to the science of crystallography and/or diffraction by an outstanding scientist who is within six (6) years of having earned the Ph.D. or its equivalent. The award carries a cash prize of $2000. --- Hilary Stevenson Graduate Student, Department of Pharmacology & Chemical Biology University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (740) 405-3044 [email protected]
