Session: Designer Proteins for Treating Diabetes Mellitus Explained in 3-Dimensions (2015 SACNAS National Conference)

Thursday, October 29, 2015: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM

Baltimore 3-4 (Gaylord National Resort And Convention Center)

Chair:

Shuchismita Dutta, PhD, Scientific Educational Development Lead, RCSB PDB; Assistant Research Professor, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Description: Designer proteins are extensively used for treating Diabetes Mellitus, a condition afflicting ~350 million individuals globally. This session will explain the science, technology and resources used for protein design. Specific examples of 3-D designer proteins approved for treating diabetes will be discussed and their clinical use will be highlighted.
