The Biomolecular Interaction Technology Center (BITC) and Beckman Coulter are pleased to announce the award of two scholarships to the Advanced Analytical Ultracentrifugation Workshop and Symposium.  Beckman Coulter will pay the $1,250 registration fee for Stephen Hessler and Tyler Daman.  Both Steven and Tyler demonstrated great potential for using Analytical Ultracentrifugation in their future research careers.  Stephen is a PhD. graduate student studying in the lab of James Cole at the University of Connecticut.  For his thesis research, Steve intends to pursue some fundamental questions regarding the mechanism of activation of PKR, an important protein involved in the innate immune response and the body's response to viral infection.  Tyler Daman is a PhD graduate student studying in the lab of Victoria Robinson at the University of Connecticut.  Tyler is studying the intrinsically disordered features of Drosophila Nucleostemin using SAXS and various biophysical techniques, including AUC.  BITC was founded by Tom Laue as an NSF I/UCRC center at the University of New Hampshire, and has since grown to become a stand-alone industry-university research consortium involving multiple biotechnology companies and the University of New Hampshire and the University of Delaware.  BITC has a threefold mission:  provide advanced methods for the analysis of biomolecular interactions;  transfer technologies through training, consultation and collaboration;  provide an environment in which academic and industrial researchers can interact.   From the Model E to the ProteomeLab XL-I, Beckman Coulter is the trusted name in analytical ultracentrifugation; with the launch of the new Optima AUC, Beckman Coulter has committed to add to its legacy and enable researchers to continue to push the forefronts of experimental science.  The advanced AUC workshop has a >15 year tradition of promoting training, collaboration, and innovation in the field of protein interaction science and technology.  BITC thanks Beckman Coulter for making the workshop more available to deserving young researchers.
