Keynote Speakers

Steven Boxer, Professor Steven Boxer is the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University. His research interests are at the interface of physical chemistry, biology and engineering. Topics of current interest include: electron and energy transfer mechanisms in photosynthesis, electrostatics and dynamics in proteins, Stark spectroscopy and the origins of catalysis, the fabrication of artificial systems to simulate, manipulate and image biological membranes, and the excited state dynamics of green fluorescent protein, especially applications of split GFP to control interactions in complex systems with light. He is the recipient of several awards and is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences. More information can be found at: http://www.stanford.edu/group/boxer/.
Norman Dovichi, Professor Norman Dovichi holds the Grace-Rupley Professorship at the University of Notre Dame. His research group has specialized in ultrasensitive bioanalysis. The group has played pioneering roles in single molecule detection, single cell analysis, and high throughput DNA sequencing. Dovichi was named as the only chemist among a dozen other scientists as an unsung hero of the human genome project by Science."
