The Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, in partnership with the National Science Foundation Research Coordination Network on Extreme Biophysics, will host a symposium and workshop on the applications of high pressure and reverse micelle nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, in protein structure biology on April 6-7 in College Station.
The April 6 symposium will be held from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in Room 108 of the Biochemistry and Biophysics Building, and the April 7 workshop will be held from 9 a.m.-noon in Rooms N127 and 213.
Seating is very limited for the workshop, and registration is required by March 1 for both events. To register, visit https://tx.ag/NMRSymposium. A complimentary lunch will be provided during the symposium for those who register.
