History

Purpose

The Gateway NMR Conference is a one-day meeting held each Fall in the eastern part of the US mid-west, which includes the states of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, W. Virginia, and Tennessee.

The Gateway NMR Conference brings together NMR practitioners to share their exciting research (“latest and greatest”), get to know each other, share news and know-how, initiate potential collaborations, etc. NMR Researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry are encouraged to attend. The meeting also provides an opportunity to interact with vendors to learn about their products and services.
