Save the dates 16-18 SEPTEMBER 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.
