1998 Protein Society

I am forwarding this announcement from the Protein Society.

=========================================================================

From: Sherrie Hughes <protsoc@BIOCH.TAMU.EDU>
Subject:      12th Protein Society Symposium
To: PROTSOC@listserv.tamu.edu

Dear Colleague,

The 12th Symposium of the Protein Society will be held in San Diego from
July 25-29, 1998.  An exciting program of scientific sessions and workshops
has been planned and there will be several new features, including a
session of short talks by post docs and grad students.

Please help us to advertise and support this meeting by displaying the
meeting poster that was included in the Call for Abstracts, by bringing the
meeting to the attention of students, postdocs, and colleagues who would
benefit from attending, and by making your own plans to attend.

If you did not receive the Call for Abstracts or would like additional
information, please contact the Protein Symposium Office (tel 301-530-7010;
fax 301-530-7014; email prot98mtg@faseb.org).  Meeting information can also
be found on our website at http://www.faseb.org/meetings/protein98/.

The DEADLINE for abstracts (which can be submitted electronically) is March
25, 1998.

Thank you,

Bob Sauer
