The first part is contributed by internal speakers, the second part by external speakers. The purpose of the seminar series is to increase interactions between the Rockefeller University students, postdocs, and faculty who are interested in structural approaches to understanding the function of proteins. The meetings are to consist of two informal 20min presentations, with as much discussion as possible, but preferably not exceeding 30 minutes for the whole presentation. The speakers are expected to be mostly students and postdocs, but nobody is excluded. To encourage the discussion of as yet unpublished and preliminary results, it is preferred not to have non-RU visitors unless the presenters agree with this.
Seminars describing useful techniques are also most welcome.
There will be pizzas and drinks before the seminar. The format of the external seminars is to meet once every month, at a flexible time. The external speakers are invited and hosted by the participating faculty. John Kuriyan is in charge of this series. The announcements will be made by email directly to all the interested people, usually about 2 weeks and a day before the meeting.
