The Malate Dehydrogenase CUREs Community

Powerpoint file for the August 11th Workshop

This summer we are pleased to announce that both activities will involve a unique collaboration between three major protein-centric CURE communities, the BASIL group, BioMolViz, and MCC with the goal of helping faculty implement and collaborate CUREs between these groups to benefit our students.
