20th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society

The meeting organizers, Dr. Arthur Horwich (Yale School of Medicine/HHMI and The Scripps Research Institute) and Dr. Ben Cravatt (The Scripps Research Institute), have put together an exceptional program, which will include more than 50 invited speakers and sessions including single molecule studies; dynamic post-translational modifications-beyond phosphorylation; protein folding; biochemistry and structure of ion channels; protein quality control; targeted proteomics; protein misfolding; structure and mechanism of formation; receptors and signaling; macro-molecular machines; dynamics in protein function; protein-protein interactions at the synapse; protein design; and in vivo imaging/biosensors. An opening plenary lecture by Dr. Roger Tsien (Howard Hughes Medical Institute – University of California, San Diego) as well as a closing lecture by Dr. Peter Schultz (The Scripps Research Institute) will be featured along with two Awards Plenary Sessions. The 2006 Stein and Moore Award will be jointly presented to F. Ulrich Hartl, M.D. (Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry) and Arthur Horwich, M.D. (Yale School of Medicine) for their discoveries and groundbreaking work on chaperone-assisted protein folding. Recipients of four other 2006 Society awards will also be acknowledged at Plenary Award Sessions.

The 20th Annual Symposium will introduce a new program for our sponsors and attendees: “The Protein Scientist Recruiting Forum.” Attendees will have the opportunity to submit resumes and research summaries in PDF format to representatives from sponsoring entities who are seeking employees. The Protein Society will provide facilities for company representatives to interview selected individuals. This new program offers both companies and prospective candidates an excellent opportunity to network in advance of the customary Fall interview season.
