NMR Studies of Structure and Function of Biological Macromolecules
This session will address research interests in molecular structural biology, and in structural genomics with a specialty in nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy with biological macromolecules. Dr. Wüthrich contributed the NMR method of three dimensional structure
determination of proteins and nucleic acids in solution. His many awards and honorary degrees include recognition by the Prix Louis
Jeantet de Médecine, the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology, and the 2002 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The Prospects of Nanotechnology for Molecular Analysis
Dr. Craighead’s talk will address some of the developing technologies in nanofluidics and approaches that may have an impact on future
analytical methods. He will explore how technologies continue to advance for creating structures and simple devices with dimensions at
the nanometer scale. Will these capabilities, which can access the molecular scale, enable new approaches to chemical analysis? He will
address some of the developing technologies in nanofluidics and approaches that may have impact on future analytical methods.
