Schedule At A Glance | Full Program PDF | Daily ScheduleThe Protein Society Annual Symposium 2022 (PS36)July 7 - 10, 2022 | San Francisco, California | Hilton San Francisco Union SquareWe are excited to bring you this year’s annual symposium, comprising 12 exceptional scientific sessions and nine award speakers totaling over 60 invited and contributed talks. Our program committee, chaired by Walter Chazin, has assembled a program that spans the broad range of protein science, combining critical underpinnings of the field, the latest developments and a vision into the future with career development and technical workshops as well as ample networking opportunities. This year’s symposium continues our commitment to open participation, with a number of symposium talks coming from contributed sessions and speakers across a broad range of topics.
The symposium will also feature networking tables, receptions, industry visits, DEI-themed workshops, a Protein Science Journal workshop, and much more. The final schedule and RSVPS will be open early May.
.
The meeting is expected to start at 8:30 a.m. PST on July 7, and will end at 12:30 p.m. PST on July 10.
