This retirement symposium will honor Dr. James R. Sellers for his major achievements in defining the structure-function relationships and regulation of myosin molecular motors over his remarkable 48 year NIH career. Esteemed scientists from the cytoskeleton and molecular motor fields — collaborators, colleagues, former trainees, and friends of Dr. Sellers — will speak.

The event will be held in the Lipsett Amphitheater, NIH Bethesda Main Campus, on September 28, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with a live-stream option.

While registration is free, it is required. Space is limited, so please register by September 18th.

Individuals requiring Sign Language Interpreters or other reasonable accommodations to facilitate their participation in this event should contact Yasuharu Takagi at takagiy@nhlbi.nih.gov at least five (5) days prior to the commencement of the event.
