 "THE CHEMISTRY BEHIND LIFE"Sunday, July 7, 2002
Click on the picture to the right for the symposium schedule and more details (PDF format). A Mini-symposium Organized by the Course Instructors: Steven Benner (U. Florida), Andy Ellington (U. Texas, Austin) Held at the The history of life on earth is chronicled in the geological strata, the fossil record, and the genomes of contemporary organisms. When examined together, these records help identify metabolic and regulatory pathways, annotate protein sequences, and identify animal models to develop new drugs, among other features of scientific and biomedical interest. Planetary analysis of genome and proteome databases is providing an enhanced understanding of how life interacts with the biosphere and adapts to global change. This symposium will focus on what every geobiologist must know about organic chemistry. You are invited to attend this symposium and are kindly asked to confirm your participation by email to the course coordinator, Ann Close (close@usc.edu).
