Dear Colleague:
You and your colleagues are cordially invited to join us for the 13th
Annual Structural Biology Symposium to be held at the University of
Texas Medical Branch at Galveston on May 16th and 17th, 2008. 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 2008 Symposium includes the following prominent speakers:
Keynote Speaker:
