Join us for a one-day event, exploring the advances in technology and infrastructure that are revolutionising the way in which we interpret molecular and cellular functions, and find out how integrative approaches are connecting atomic-level structure with functionality at the cellular level.
The launch event will showcase the electron microscopy, NMR and mass spectrometry technologies and expertise of the Astbury Centre, and provides a chance to discover the funded research opportunities that are available through Instruct - including machine access, training, internships and R&D pilot project awards. As well as talks from experts in structural biology, there will be an opportunity to tour the facilities on offer through Instruct, and to ask your scientific questions directly to the specialists.
