The BioWorkshop and JASCO are pleased to co-host a J-1500 Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer workshop in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at the University of Maryland on November 6, 2019. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about new advances in CD spectroscopy techniques and instruments, and characterization studies of biomolecule structure, function and stability. Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Users may also bring samples for hands-on measurements during the afternoon demo session held in the BioWorkshop on the JASCO J-1500.

To sign up for a demo session with samples or for questions, please contact Dr. Sijie Hao at [email protected].
