This event has passed. Check out our upcoming Networking Events.
Networking event focused on the membrane transport proteins, with a particular focus on presentation opportunities for senior graduate students and postdocs. Such an event may be especially helpful to young scientists whose careers face unique challenges in the current pandemic environment.
The event is co-organized by BPS Members Da-Neng Wang and David Sauer, both at New York University in New York, NY, USA.
This event will be held on September 25 from 11 am - 3 pm, EDT
