The Dreyfus Foundation has organized an American Chemical Society (ACS) Symposium on Imaging in the Chemical Sciences – the topic of the 2023 Dreyfus Prize – which will be held at the spring national meeting of the ACS in New Orleans on Monday, March 18, 2024. The symposium is open to all attendees of the spring ACS meeting.

The distinguished speakers are Paul Weiss (University of California, Los Angeles), Naomi Ginsberg (University of California, Berkeley), Wilson Ho (University of California, Irvine), Dorit Hanein (University of California, Santa Barbara), Christopher Chang (University of California, Berkeley), and Xiaowei Zhuang (Harvard University, HHMI), the winner of the 2023 Dreyfus Prize conferred in Imaging in the Chemical Sciences.

The anticipated agenda is provided below. A reception will follow. For up-to-date information, including how to attend, please visit the ACS meeting website.
