Afternoon Breakout Session 2 - Presentation 1
| Title: | The Protein Data Bank: Multiple Collaborations in Action | Speaker: | Helen Berman, Professor - Chemistry and Chemical Biology; Director, Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics and the Protein Data Bank |
| Time: | 2:30 - 3:20 PM |
| Locations: | Camden - Executive Meeting Room - Camden Campus Center Newark - MPR West - Robeson Campus Center New Brunswick - MPR - Busch Campus Center  |
| Presentation Details: | The Protein Data Bank (PDB; www.pdb.org) is the single worldwide depository of information about the three-dimensional structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids. Many different collaborations provide the tools and resources for studying these structures and their relationships to sequence, function, and disease, including the RCSB PDB and the wwPDB. |
| Speaker Bio: | Helen M. Berman is a Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Rutgers University. Her research area is structural biology and bioinformatics, with a special focus on protein-nucleic acid interactions. She is the founder of the Nucleic Acid Database, a repository of information about the structures of nucleic acid-containing molecules; and is the co-founder and Director of the Protein Data Bank, the international repository of the structures of biological macromolecules. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Biophysical Society, from which she received the Distinguished Service Award in 2000. She is also a past president of the American Crystallographic Association. Dr. Berman received her A.B. in 1964 from Barnard College and a Ph.D. in 1967 from the University of Pittsburgh. |
