Session: Biomolecular Engineering (2011 Annual Meeting)

Monday, October 17, 2011: 12:30 PM

L100 G (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:

This session invites contributions on novel methods for engineering biomolecules and the applications of these in therapeutics, diagnostics, sensors, and other engineering applications. Fundamental experimental and computational studies on the structure and structure-function properties of engineered biomolecules are also welcome.
