13th Annual Structural Biology Symposium
May 16-17, 2008

Each year, the SCSB hosts a two day symposia to highlight current research. The majority of speakers invited are from outside the gulf-coast region. This is a marvelous opportunity to meet and hear from outstanding researchers in structural biology and its many associated fields of research. Past speakers have included many notable scientists. Please see the list below for a complete record. The program also includes a poster session and several social events to allow formal and informal discussion with the speakers and other symposium participants.
