NIH Working Group

The Structural Biology program has transitioned from Common Fund support. The Working Group member list reflects the membership at the end of this program. Please note that since the Structural Biology program is no longer supported by the Common Fund, the program website is being maintained as an archive and will not be updated on a regular basis.
