These are just some of the questions that are being asked. We need to know how well currently available technologies can probe and monitor these functions. Each day of ABRF '98 will begin with morning plenary sessions that will describe the directions in which cell biology and functional genomics are heading, as well as some of the cutting edge technologies that support these efforts. The plenary sessions will be followed by a mixture of scientific sessions and tutorials that focus on the technologies that contribute so heavily to our current body of scientific knowledge. This year's program will include an extended lunch break to allow ample time for poster and exhibit discussions, for the ABRF research committees to present the latest research studies or tutorials, and to touch base with colleagues around the world.
Poster sessions are an important means for participants to share ideas and techniques.
Additional forms and registration information may be obtained from the Meeting Manager, Kristin Mirabal. The ABRF now has over 800 members, and we hope that as many as possible of our members attend, joined by other scientists interested in the analysis and synthesis of biological molecules.
