Dear NMR Spectroscopist,
Due to extensive support and interest, we are now able to maintain early-bird registration fees until the closure of registration for the 2019 joint Royal Society of Chemistry NMR Discussion Group - British Biophysical Society Spring Meeting: 'NMR in Biophysics and Molecular Biology'. This is a two-day event and will be held at the easily accessed Conference Auditorium, University of Leeds, on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th April 2019. The meeting will be dedicated to NMR in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, and will comprise presentations from leading practitioners in addition to poster sessions. Established research workers and early career research workers are invited to submit poster abstracts. Generously sponsored prizes will be offered for best poster and best short oral presentation. Travel bursaries will be offered to early-career researchers who present a poster. Tours of the modern, recently installed, NMR and cryo-TEM facilities available in Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds, will also be offered during the meeting.
There will be opportunities meet informally with other research workers, and vendors of NMR instrumentation and accessories. In particular, early career research workers are encouraged to attend the event, and bursaries will be made available to those who submit an abstract which is accepted for either a poster. See below for poster abstract submission deadlines.
Relevant maps showing the venue location within Leeds are shown below, and also complementary information can be accessed using the link https://www.meetinleeds.co.uk/location/getting-to-the-university-of-leeds/#toggle-id-3
