You and your colleagues are cordially invited to join us for the 12th Annual Structural Biology Symposium to be held at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston on May 18th and 19th, 2007.  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 all areas of the U.S., and several European countries, 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. This year’s symposium will focus on assembly of protein complexes and macromolecular machines. The program of the symposium 2007 includes the following prominent speakers:

James A. Spudich, Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, CA
Mark S. Ptashne, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
Gerhard Wagner, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
Charles L. Brooks, III, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA
Jianpeng Ma, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
Robert Tycko, NIH, Bethesda, MD
Roland Riek, The Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA
Alasdair C. Steven, NIH, Bethesda, MD
Richard J. Kuhn, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Z. Hong Zhou, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, TX
Jose M. Barral, UTMB, Galveston, TX.

Poster sessions and social events, included in the program, provide ample opportunity for formal and informal discussions with the speakers. Awards will be given to graduate students and post-docs for best poster presentations. To insure maximum participation, the costs of attending the symposium have been kept to a minimum. Reasonably priced rooms have been reserved at the historical beachfront Hotel Galvez on Galveston Island for symposium participants and meals are provided on-site during the Symposium.
