The Protein Trafficking Interest Group (PTIG) was formed in March, 1995 to promote the exchange of ideas among research groups which study any aspect of intracellular macromolecular traffic or related topics (e.g., membrane fusion, organelle biogenesis). Meetings are open to all members of the NIH intramural community as well as scientists from local universities and
research institutes. Current activities include monthly workshops at which members of participating research groups speak on a rotating basis.
Occasionally the PTIG also sponsors lectures by outside speakers and holds
poster sessions in conjunction with other activities in the intramural
program.

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE:
Presentations will be given by a member of the research groups listed below. Speakers are asked to keep their talks to 25 minutes or less in order to leave time for discussion. Except where noted, all workshops take place from 3:30-5 PM in Building 10, Room 9S-235 (Bunim Room).
