Location:

The workshop will be hosted by NRAMM which is located at the Simons Electron Microscopy Center at the New York Structural Biology Center.  The lectures, poster sessions, and meals will be held at CUNY Advanced Science Research Center  which is immediately adjacent to NYSBC where NRAMM is located:  ASRC Auditorium, 89 St. Nicholas Terrace, New York, NY  10027.

 

There are many ways to get to the ASRC auditorium (walking, taxi, bus, metro). Google will help you find all of them.  This map, Walking Directions from Aloft , shows the way on foot from the Aloft Hotel.  Let us know if you want more specific directions or a walking route that is a more gentle climb.
