50th Anniversary Temin Nobel Prize Symposium

This symposium commemorates the 50th anniversary of Dr. Howard Temin receiving the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, together with Drs. David Baltimore and Renato Dulbecco, for their discovery of Reverse Transcriptase. Their discovery challenged the central dogma of genetics that information flows unidirectionally from DNA ® RNA ® Protein. Enjoy a day learning about Dr. Temin’s scientific accomplishments as a member of McArdle and his legacy from eight of Dr. Temin’s renowned protégés, all of whom are international leaders in tumor virus research. Scientific presentations will be from 8:30 AM to 5 PM followed by a reception and banquet. . Registration is required but free. Registration includes:

• Keynote presentations by Dr. Rayla Greenberg Temin (UW–Madison Genetics Dept) and Dr. John Coffin (Tufts University Molecular Biology & Microbiology), along with additional invited speakers and a poster session
• Meals, including a reception and banquet

Rayla Temin (University of Wisconsin Department of Genetics) and John Coffin (Tufts University) will present Keynote Lectures. A sculpture of the reverse transcriptase protein structure, in honor of Howard Temin, will be unveiled in the afternoon. In addition to talks from other invited speakers, there will be a poster session.
