[Compbio-allhands] BMS talk Wednesday
by Jacobson, Matt 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Wednesday Feb 1, 11:30 pm, in BH212 Deborah Loughney, Stan Krystek, and Steve Johnson from BMS stopped by UCSF for a visit and I suggested that they give a talk on Wednesday. I will send out a title when I receive it, but it sounds like they will split the time and give two short talks, one on small molecule work and the other on macromolecular drugs. Stan has an interesting position in that he's focused 100% on computer-aided design for biologics. Following the talk, I will ask postdocs from my group to take them to lunch for informal conversations. If you would like to join, let me know and I'll see what I can do. -- Matt Matthew P.
