[3dem] Biophysical Society CryoEM subgroup

[Hattne, Johan]

We are pleased to announce the program for the Cryo-EM Subgroup for the 61st annual meeting of the Biophysical Society in New Orleans, LA, which takes place February 11-15, 2017. To address the recent surge of interest in the general biophysical community, the Cryo-EM Subgroup was initiated at the 2016 meeting with a program of speakers that were selected from submitted abstracts. For the 2017 meeting, we have invited the following speakers:
·         Gira Bhabha, Univ. of California, San Francisco

·         Eric Gouaux, Vollum Institute, Oregon Health & Science  Univ

·         Pascal Krotee (David Eisenberg Lab), Univ. of California, Los Angeles

·         Rod MacKinnon, Rockefeller Univ.

·         Stefan Raunser, Max Planck Inst of Molecular Physiology, Dortmund

·         Kliment Verba (David Agard Lab), Univ. of California, San Francisco

We anticipate that the Cryo-EM Subgroup will meet on Saturday evening February 11, 2017; this time slot will enable you to also attend other subgroups earlier in the day. Other Cryo-EM sessions at the meeting include a Workshop as well as a Platform Session with speakers selected from submitted abstracts. To view the entire program for the 61st meeting, you should visit the recently launched website, which will be accepting abstracts up until the October 3 deadline: https://www.biophysics.org/2017meeting. Be sure to consider the Cryo-EM category (10B) when submitting your abstract.

Finally, when you register for the 61st meeting, we very much encourage you to join the Cryo-EM subgroup. The associated fee goes directly towards supporting our program. 

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans,

David Stokes (Cryo-EM Subgroup chair)

Tamir Gonen (Cryo-EM Subgroup chair elect)

Irina Sherysheva (Cryo-EM Subgroup program chair)

Masahide Kikkawa (Cryo-EM Subgroup program chair)
