Farragut Science Academy
Join colleagues throughout Knox County for the annual Science Academy Lecture Series. The next presentation will be on November 3rd.
Dr. Cynthia Peterson "Building a Biological Camera: 3D Snapshots of a Protein"
The November 3rd FHS Science Academy lecture will be held at 7:00 pm in the media center. Cynthia Peterson, professor and head of the department of biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology, will lead the discussion “Building a Biological Camera: 3D Snapshots of a Protein.” Peterson’s work to view proteins on the nanoscale is important because the tiny proteins play an important role in blood coagulation, immunity, infectious disease, neurobiology and cancer.
The public is invited and refreshments will be served. Additional information can be obtained from our website:
