The Molecular Foundry's fall Distinguished Lectures series begins next Tuesday, Sept. 7, with Alice Ting of MIT. Her talk — "Molecular Engineering of Fluorescent Reporters for Cellular Imaging and Applications to Neuroscience" — takes place at 1:30 p.m. in the Building 66 Auditorium. She will describe the engineering of fluorophore ligases for site-specific protein labeling in cells and protein-protein interaction detection, as well as the application of these reporter technologies to study the trans-synaptic neurexin-neuroligin interaction and its role in promoting synapse maturation.

The hardest part is getting started. Choose an exercise you like and stick with it. Exercise with a friend to stay motivated. More>
