MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
ABRF '96: Biomolecular Techniques promises to be an exciting meeting. We have
an outstanding program of plenary speakers, workshops, and tutorials. With 112
posters submitted, the poster sessions should provide many opportunities for
discussion. Our Research Committees have been working hard to complete their
studies and will present their results at a special session. The meeting will
enable us to see the newest instrumentation at the vendors' exhibits--all 35
exhibitor booths are reserved, space for additional exhibitors has been added,
and several companies have planned evening sessions. Registration is presently
over 300 and still growing. This ensures we will meet our expectations for a
truly successful meeting where there will be ample opportunity to learn about
the latest techniques and "talk shop" with old friends and new. We owe a great
"Thank You" to our meeting organizers, Dave Speicher and Steve Carr, and the
FASEB meeting staff headed by Jean Lash for all their efforts. We hope to see
all of you there.
The ABRF is presenting two additional symposia this summer. On June 3 at the
ASBMB meeting in New Orleans, ABRF and ASBMB will cosponsor a symposium on
Glycobiology of Human Disease, chaired by Reid Townsend. Our traditional
symposium at the Protein Society will be presented on August 3, in San Jose,
CA. This symposium, organized by Ron Niece, Lowell Ericsson, and Laurey
Steinke, will include two talks on applications of capillary electrophoresis
and mass spectrometry. A highlight will be the presentation of the ABRF award
sponsored by Hewlett-Packard followed by a lecture by the award recipient. The
agendas for these two meetings are on page 2 of this newsletter. As in the
past, ABRF will also participate in the Protein Society by organizing the
poster session.
As our organization evolves, it is important to have input from all our members
about how the ABRF can better serve your needs. Please share your thoughts and
ideas with any member of the Executive Board or the Research Committees.
See you in San Francisco!
