The first beamlines dedicated to life sciences at the newly constructed National Synchrotron Light Source II are the three ABBIX beamlines — Advanced Beamlines for Biological Investigations with X-rays. On January 28-29, 2015, a workshop will be held to explore and discuss scientific areas and opportunities on which early operation of the beamlines could capitalize. 

Confirmed invited speakers:

  • Karen Allen, Boston University
  • Martin Caffrey, Trinity College Dublin
  • Richard Gillilan, Cornell University
  • Wayne Hendrickson, Columbia University
  • Andre Hoelz, California Institute of Technology
  • Shenping Liu, Pfizer
  • Lee Makowski, Northeastern University
  • David Ostrov, University of Florida
  • Anna-Marie Pyle, Yale University
  • Christian Riekel, ESRF
  • Thomas Schneider, EMBL-Hamburg
  • John Tainer, The Scripps Research Institute
  • Da-Neng Wang, New York University
