Welcome

The Tufts University Structural and Chemical Biology Research Group (SCBRG) warmly welcomes you to our new and improved site! In the bar to the left, you'll find links to all manner of information from upcoming meetings, who are members are and what they do, to a calendar of upcoming meetings or other seminars which may be of interest to our members. If you're interested in joining the group, or just want to learn more about our group, please visit the "Contact Us" page for detailed instructions on how to do so! We look forward to hearing from you soon!

NEXT MEETING:
Lenore Cowen - January 10, 2012, 4 pm
"Combining Simplified Markov Random Fields with Simulated Evolution Improves Remote Homology Detection for Beta-Structural Proteins Into the Twilight Zone."

Aims of the SCBRG

Provide a venue for the presentation of structural and chemical biology research from within Tufts University.

Create a platform for the discussion of new techniques, new advances, and interesting developments in the field outside Tufts.

Aid in the growth of novice structural and chemical biologist by allowing them to: present and defend their own work to more experienced peers; learn of new, potentially important thesis-related techniques; and develop their aptitude for relating structural and chemical information to others in the field

Meeting Format

Basically, the SCBRG is here to help! Meetings are informal and discussion is encouraged, if not required. We hope everyone in attendance will give us their two cents! All questions, queries, and comments will be answered by the group as a whole to generate as worth while a dialogue as possible. We understand that there is a breadth of experience in the group and we heartily welcome the input of younger students to both offer fresh insight into old problems and to aid in their education.
