The 2024 CBI Annual Symposium was held on Monday, May 13th, 2024 from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm.
This year’s symposium was extra exciting because we will hosted trainees and faculty from the Chemistry-Biology Interface Training Program at the University of Texas – Southwestern and Wayne State University.
The symposium focused on cutting-edge research conducted at the interface of chemistry and biology, with speakers from diverse backgrounds and research interests. This was an excellent opportunity for trainees to present their research through a poster session, network and connect with other trainees and researchers, and explore career paths through a diverse career panel.

- Keynote Speaker Professor Yamuna Krishnan, Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago
- Professor Chase Weidmann, Department of Biological Chemistry, University of Michigan
