More than 100 speakers will take part in the Structural Biology 2017 event in Zurich, Switzerland

The 9th International Conference on Structural Biology is going to be held for the first time in Europe on September 18, 19 and 20 in Zurich, with the theme ‘Let’s Gear the Future with Structural Biology’

The event will convene more than 100 speakers who will deliver their scientific talks on 12 thematic areas related with structural biology, biophysics, bioinformatics and drug design. The Conference, which anticipates an attendance of 500 people, contemplates the organization of sessions as symposiums, workshops, panels, etc.

Structural Biology 2017 will have some of the most relevant personalities from the industry and scientific community who will share their latest research during plenary sessions and special sessions.

Michael Hennig, Co-founder, CEO and Chairman of the board of leadXpro and Dirksen E. Bussiere, Director of the Structural and Biophysical Chemistry group at Novaritis will be discussing the new developments and advancements in structure based drug discovery. Nebojsa Janjic, Chief Science Officer at SomaLogic will lay a special focus on structural insights from aptamers.

Stephen Soisson, Director of Biochemical Engineering and Structure at Merck Research Laboratories will discuss the structural basis for the activation of fatty acid receptor GPR40. Marta Westwood from UCB Celltech, would lay a focus on strategies to target protein-protein interactions.

David F Sargent, one of the founders of MagnebotiX will discuss his interesting research on Micro robotics for protein crystal harvesting. Tobias Pflüger from NanoTemper Technologies would be conducting a workshop on structural biology and drug development. Apart from these there is a wide collection of variety of talks from academia and industry.

Special Young Researcher Forum slots and Poster Presentation slots are also an attention-grabbing part of the conference.

All those who wish to attend Structural Biology 2017 can make their registration through the conference website, structuralbiology.conferenceseries.com, which will be available until full capacity is reached.

World-wide Structural Biology Research

The 9^th International Conference on Structural Biology has gathered leaders in the field of structural biology, biophysics and bioinformatics for a comprehensive overview of this rapidly expanding area of research and development. The Conference will be held in Zurich, Switzerland from September 18-20, 2017 at Hilton Zurich Airport Hotel.

This conference is a meeting of scientists and technologists from all over the globe working in fields leading towards the three-dimensional macromolecular structure and drug discovery.

The conference will cover topics relevant to the pursuit of structural biology and biophysics highlighting areas such as are 3D structure determination, computational approaches in structural biology, hybrid approaches for structure prediction, structural biology and single molecules, structural bioinformatics and proteomics, structural molecular biology, structural virology, sequencing, signalling biology, molecular modelling and dynamics, drug designing, frontiers in structural biology, structural biology in cancer research, structural biology complexity arenas and recent advances in structural biology.

Keynote Speakers this year will be Tilman Schirmer, University of Basel, Switzerland; Henry M. Sobell, University of Rochester, USA; Shigeyuki Yokoyama, RIKEN Structural Biology Laboratory, Japan; Robert Stroud, UCSF, USA; Timothy A. Cross, Florida State University, USA; Wladek Minor, University of Virginia, USA and Yuri L. Lyubchenko, University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA.

Other eminent speakers from industries include Nebojsa Janjic, SomaLogic, Inc., U.S.A.; Michael Hennig, leadXpro AG, Switzerland; Dirksen E. Bussiere, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, USA; Marta Westwood, UCB Pharma Ltd, UK; Tobias Pflüger, NanoTemper Technologies GmbH, Germany and many more…

Best Poster and YRF Award:

The conference also emphasizes the researches of young and budding scientists. An exclusive session will be allotted to them where they can present their posters and talks under Young Research Forum (YRF). The best research will be awarded with the Best Poster and Best YRF award.

Structural Biology 2016 celebrates its success!!!

Conference Series thanks all its Speakers for making Structural Biology 2016 a huge success.

Prominent scientists like Michael G Rossmann from Purdue University, USA; Jeffrey Skolnick from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; Bi-Cheng Wang from University of Georgia, USA; Robert M Stroud from University of California, San Francisco, USA; John H. Miller, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, Irena Roterman-Konieczna, Jagiellonian University, Poland, Shigeyuki Yokoyama, RIKEN Structural Biology Laboratory, Japan; gave their fruitful contributions in the form of highly informative presentations at Structural Biology 2016 and made the conference a huge success. Structural Biology 2016 also had special workshops on ‘New technologies in structural studies by cryoEM’ and ‘Modularity and metastability: Structural aspects of nanomedicine’.

Conference Series promises another noteworthy event in 2017, the ‘9th International Conference on Structural Biology’ between September 18-19, 2017 at Zurich, Switzerland. The conference has started gathering top class researches from all over the world and is looking forward for high quality scientific sessions and networking opportunities.

Everyone interested in structural biology, biophysics and bioinformatics is encouraged to attend the event.
