ABRF Meeting at the Protein Society - First European Symposium

May 28, 1995

The program for the ABRF half-day meeting in Davos, Switzerland is now in place. Invited speakers include Alastair Aitken, Darryl Pappin, Peter Roepstorff, Franz Hillenkamp, Christopher Southan, and Richard Smith. In response to opinion canvassed from European members of ABRF, a program has been formulated that addresses the needs of multi-user, core facilities in Europe, and the subject matter concentrates on those areas of protein and nucleic acid chemistry in which there has been substantial development in the last few months. The symposium will be in a single-session format with talks lasting 15 to 20 minutes each. Because the principal focus of ABRF meetings is discussion and interaction, each subsection of the presentations will have a separate discussion period. This will be followed at the end of the symposium with an open-ended discussion forum where attendees can further explore subjects discussed during the day or raise points of interest on completely different topics. Delegates should feel free to bring along a few (no more than five) slides to illustrate any particular point or show data relevant to the discussion during the open forum. We hope the afternoon will prove stimulating to all those who attend and provide them with new ideas to take back to their laboratories.
