Program

Program Summary An exciting and diverse program will highlight our magnetic resonance strengths in the Southeast US, in combination with contributions from guests from outside of the region. Several investigators new to the Southeast will be featured. A special session will showcase the contributions of nuclear and electron magnetic resonance to the molecular-level understanding of amyloid protein diseases, including prion-associated and Alzheimer's diseases. The Saturday evening program will feature a pair of lively magnetic resonance imaging talks, followed by the Poster Session. Graduate student and postdoctoral researcher contributions are particulary encouraged. The top three posters from graduate students and postdocs will receive a cash prize, and the presenters will have the opportunity to give short talks during the Sunday sessions.
