2021 ISBUC Annual Meeting
The 2021 ISBUC Annual Meeting is one-day meeting open to all scientists working in structural biology in the University of Copenhagen.
It will include inspiring keynote speakers exploring the cutting edge of research, a panel debate on Alphafold and the future of structural biology, flash talks by junior researchers working at the University of Copenhagen and a poster session with prizes.
Most importantly, the ISBUC Annual Meeting is a forum to meet fellow structural biologists working at the University of Copenhagen, coming from both SUND and SCIENCE. It is a chance to catch up with colleagues not seen since corona, to make new colleagues welcome and to meet the next generation of structural biology researchers.
The 2021 ISBUC Annual Meeting will take place Friday 29th October 2021 in Auditorium 1, August Krogh Building, Universitetsparken 13, 2100 Copenhagen Ø.
All students, PhDs and Postdocs are encouraged to contribute with posters. Participation in the conference is free but please sign up here before 26 October 2021.
