Seven speakers were selected for the 2016 New & Notable Symposium. The Program
Chairs were challenged by the many superb nominations submitted by Society members.
The speakers, listed below, will present their work in Los Angeles, California, during the
Symposium on Sunday, February 28, at 10:45 am. The Symposium will feature
exciting new discoveries that take advantage of diverse biophysical methodologies,
including single-molecule fluorescence and Cryo-EM, to address a wide range of
biophysical questions.
