New PSI:Biology Technology Development Opportunities

Thursday, Jan 7, 2010 8:37 AM EST by Ward Smith | 1 Comments

We have just issued new program announcements to develop technologies for protein modeling (PAR-10-075, PAR-10-076) and high-throughput structural biology research (PAR-10-074, PAR-10-073). These announcements are part of the PSI:Biology initiative that will apply high-throughput structure determination to a broad range of biological problems. Advances in comparative molecular modeling and high-throughput approaches will play an important [...]
