Gateway NMR 2020 Conference Program
We are excited to present the following program for the 2020 Gateway Conference with excellent speakers, two poster sessions allowing for individual conversations even in the virtual space, two “hands-on” tutorial sessions by applications experts from Bruker, and a “Round Table” discussion for further stimulating conversation amongst participants. We hope you’ll set aside this time and participate in this meeting from the comfort of your home!
