Biochemistry Research Retreat

The Annual Biochemistry Research Retreat was founded in 1996 by Professors Paul W. Huber and Anthony S. Serianni. Since that time, it has been held annually in mid-June at either Swan Lake Resort, Plymouth, Indiana, or Potawatami Inn, Pokagon State Park, Angola, Indiana. The retreat takes place over a two-day period and can be attended by anyone on the Notre Dame campus interested in biochemical research. More information on this event can be obtained by contacting Anthony Serianni (aseriann@nd.edu) or by examining the technical programs from past retreats, which can be downloaded using the following links. The retreat was recently (2014) endowed by Barbara O'Connor, in honor of her husband, Dr. John O'Connor. More information about John O'Connor is available in the 2014 Retreat Program.
