Conference Program at a Glance (Rome, September 16–18, 2026)
Conference Program at a Glance (Rome, September 16–18, 2026)
The conference will span three consecutive days and include scientific sessions dedicated to the analysis of protein function and evolution through structural, biophysical, and engineering approaches.
The program aims to promote the integration of experimental and computational techniques for understanding protein structure and function, offering a space for interdisciplinary discussion between structural biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and molecular engineers.
DAY 1
DAY 1
Institutional Greetings, followed by sessions on the potential of Structural Biology and Artificial Intelligence.
Sessions on the computational design of enzymes and the processes of protein folding, stability, and aggregation in physiological and pathological contexts.
DAY 2
DAY 2
Dedicated to molecular mechanisms and emerging processes in cellular biology, such as subcellular compartmentalization guided by phase separation, the interaction between proteins and nucleic acids, and enzymatic mechanisms and biocatalysis.
Continuation of the above topics, including a dedicated time slot for the Poster Session.
DAY 3
DAY 3
Focus on hybrid approaches for the study of protein-ligand interactions and the new frontiers of therapy based on engineered proteins.
The conference will conclude with a meeting among INPEC members to discuss the organization's future projects.
