GIDRM day. Protein Structure-Function Relationship: new challenges and advancements

GIDRM day. Protein Structure-Function Relationship: new challenges and advancements
  Friday, October 19, 2018
The goal of this event is to bring together the Italian community interested in structural and functional studies of proteins and complex biomolecular systems with a high impact on biological research. A particular emphasis is placed on the integration of the different methodologies to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular processes.
An informal poster session will be available for PhD students who wish to show their recent work, with the aim to enlarge the network of collaborations within the scientific community interested in the study of proteins. For organization reasons please express your interest in the poster session by sending an email to: verona2018@gidrm.org
