[3dem] Present at MCW Future Stars Symposium

[Wenzel, Dawn]

Apply to present at the Medical College of Wisconsin's (MCW) Virtual Future Stars Symposium in Structural Biology on June 16, 11:00 am-3:00 pm (CDT)!



MCW Future Stars Symposium in Structural Biology is the second in a series of symposia that feature 15-20 minute talks from outstanding postdoctoral investigators. This virtual symposium is part of a broad initiative at MCW to expand existing strengths in structural and chemical biology, especially as related to cancer biology, including several future hires at the junior faculty level. After the presentations speakers and attendees will interact and share ideas via virtual breakout sessions. This is a great opportunity for postdocs entering the job market: postdocs receive exposure by speaking at this well-attended event and additionally receive speaking honorariums.

If you are interested in participating, please submit a 150-word abstract and your CV to Michele Ward (mward at mcw.edu<mailto:mward at mcw.edu>) by noon on Friday, May 28th. The Recruitment Committee will inform the speakers of their selection during the first week of June, with logistical details to follow thereafter. We are particularly interested in hearing from potential speakers from underrepresented communities.


The Medical College of Wisconsin is the 3rd largest private medical school in the country, conducting over $200M annually in externally funded research, with over $145M from the NIH. A newly established Structural and Chemical Biology Center is home to state-of-the-art X-ray, NMR, and chemical synthesis facilities with ready access to shared resources for high-performance computing. MCW is also home to an NIH-designated National Biomedical EPR Center and Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute. Institutional disease-focused initiatives and established centers for cardiovascular, neuroscience, infectious disease, immunology, and cancer research provide translational opportunities for structure-based drug discovery. Additionally, MCW Cryo-EM researchers have expanded instrumentation opportunities through participation in a statewide Cryo-EM consortium that includes the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Cryo-EM Research Center https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cryoem.wisc.edu/__;!!Mih3wA!QtyEJR22jWZ7LIrDh5S7YiBDsC5nEZcPSGRbACkppoC2hm9AGy2jeMEtGuk78N0OIg$ , which currently has four new cryo-EMs including a Titan Krios.

On behalf of the Structural and Chemical Biology Recruitment Committee, I thank you for your consideration.
