Chemical Biology: Unlocking Nature's Secrets
University of Minnesota NIH Training Grant Symposium
Chemical Biology Initiative Event
June 1, 2005
Introduction
The University of Minnesota NIH Training Grant Symposium is a day-long event designed to highlight new advances at the interface of chemistry and biology. On behalf of the graduate students who have organized this symposium, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this year's event. This is the third year that the symposium has been organized by students. Our primary goal is to facilitate interactions between graduate students and distinguished faculty.
We are especially excited about this year's symposium, as we have attempted to invite speakers, students and faculty from an even more diverse area of research. In part, this has been to accentuate the new Chemical Biology Initiative on campus, which highlights interdisciplinary research in the areas of Medicinal Chemistry, Biotechnology, and Biocatalysis. However, in addition, we hope to make our symposium a showcase for all research related to chemistry and biology and to expand our perspective of interdisciplinary research.
The day's events will include several talks about research in chemical biology, student poster sessions, lunch, and a social hour at the end of the day for speakers and attendee's to meet.
