Workshop on Biophysics of proteins, lipid membrane, and complex biological interfaces in the context of pharmaceutical sciences
DRA workshop
The networking event aims at discussing potential synergies between the ongoing research at Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen (KU), the Divisions of physical chemistry, computational chemistry, and biochemistry at Lund University (LU). The oral presentations will highlight the research of young researchers in the field of chemistry, biology, and physics with applications in pharmaceutical sciences. The event is organized in collaboration with COMMONS center.
The workshop will take place on Monday 26/08, from 10:30 to 19:00 including lunch and buffet in the evening.
The talks and discussions will be grouped in 3 sessions covering 3 themes.
