If you have not already registered, we would like to invite you and your colleagues to join us in our inaugural celebration of the UTMB Structural Biology Program and the Sealy Center for Structural Biology by participating in our Structural Biology Symposium scheduled for March 1-3, 1996. This meeting will bring together scientists who are interested in applying insights from structural biology and solution thermodynamics to solve biological and biomedical problems. The speakers at the symposium are distinguished researchers from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. If you are planning to attend the Symposium, please inform us of your coming as well as who may be accompanying you by no later than February 26th. Furthermore, if you intend to participate in the poster session, all abstracts must be received no later than February 26th as well.
