Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that a symposium on biological small angle x-ray scattering is being held at SLAC on February 9, 2012 as a tribute to Dr. Hiro Tsuruta, who for almost 20 years led the development and operation of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource structural biology SAXS (bioSAXS) beam line BL4-2 facility. BL4-2 is one of the most highly performing and productive experimental facilities in the world today, and has become a beam line of choice for weakly scattering and challenging biological systems.
The talks in the Symposium will honor Hiro's keen scientific interests and intellectual curiosity, offering insights by noted invited speakers to past, present and future applications of bioSAXS. The Symposium will encompass many aspects of the research field of biophysics, where Hiro pursued his strong interest in structure–function relationships in
biological macromolecular assemblies at the molecular structure level. Research on macromolecular assemblies such as virus particles, molecular chaperon proteins, kinases, heatshock proteins and transcription regulators are examples where Hiro worked, often with collaborators, to gain new understanding, including study of dynamical structural changes
of these systems using time-resolved techniques.
The Symposium will be the full day of Thursday, February 9, beginning at 8:30am and concluding by around 5pm. Light refreshments and lunch will be served. The Symposium is open to all interested in attending. Registration is required through this web portal but there is no fee for attending.
Please join us in celebrating Hiro's international legacy in the growing area of bioSAXS science, for which he pursued new developments and science applications until the very end of his life in August of 2011.

Best regards,
Tsutomu Matsui for Britt Hedman and Keith Hodgson
