Frontiers in Biophysical Research

Thursday, October 29, 2015: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM
National Harbor 3 (Gaylord National Resort And Convention Center)
Chairs:
Silvia Cavagnero, PhD, Dr., University of Wisconsin-Madison and Luis A. Marky, PhD, Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center

Description: This session focuses on the role of intra and intermolecular interactions in biomolecular function. In addition, the session highlights how incorrect interactions lead to cell malfunction and deadly diseases. This symposium will provide attendees with a broad perspective of how molecular-level studies can unveil how living organisms work and function.
