Department of Energy issues a press release about the 2019 INCITE Awards
Our group was among the 62 recipients of INCITE Awards from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. The projects originate in national laboratories, academia, and industry, and encompass a remarkable range of scientific inquiry. Ours was among 8 projects in the areas of Biological Sciences/Biophysics awarded nationwide. Here are the 2019INCITEAnnouncement and the […]
GROUP MEMBERS PRESENT AT THE 2018 SERMACS MEETING IN AUGUSTA
Group members recently traveled to Augusta, GA to present at the 2018 Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society. Many thanks to all who presented! (Chunli Yan, Ashutosh Shandilya, Tom Dodd, Kurt Martin and Zhenyu Wang) At the meeting Ivaylo gave two invited talks: Emerging unified description of transcription initiation from cryo-EM and integrative computational […]
