Biological & Biophysical Basis of Membrane Dynamics and Organization

November 5 & 6, 2010    Mellon Institute of Science

A Membrane Poster Fair will be held in the Mellon Institute Social Room on Friday, Nov.-05, at 4:00 p.m., featuring the breadth and width of Membrane Biophysics and Biology in Pittsburgh.
Rick McCullough and Nathan Urban (CMU's Vice President for Research and Head of the Dept. for Biological Sciences, respectively) will open this event.
Cheese and Wine will accompany the science.

Poster boards are 4' x 3', landscape or portrait orientations are both possible.
