Single Molecule Club

          Single Molecule Club is a monthly seminar series that is held on the evening of the last Thursday of each month during the academic year. It aims to bring researchers in this community who are actively engaged or are genuinely interested in single-molecule studies together to discuss their research results, share scientific ideas and forge new collaborations. Through this club we hope to raise the appreciation of local research community to single-molecule techniques and encourage continuous efforts to take advantages of the current advances in this field.
          The club meeting will be held at the School of Medicine WBSB 607. Dinner and desserts will be served from 5:30 to 6:00 pm. Talk starts at 6:00 pm. The following is the tentative schedule for the year of 2007/2008. If you are interested in joining the club or giving a talk, please email Lisa Vogt at lvogt@jhmi.edu. We welcome all interested principle investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.
