Contributed Talks and Young Investigator Talks CLOSED

Both talk opportunities are open to the public and will be included in the parallel sessions. 

Contributed Talk (30 minutes)

Eligibility: Open to all 

Contributed Talks by established and new faculty members of protein scientists working in the industry will be considered for selection and presentation at the Symposium by a review committee. The contributed talks will be chosen to complement and deepen the Symposium topical area. Over the past 2 years, 25% of talks came from this category. 

Young Investigator Talk (15 minutes)
