30–31 May 2024, the Chemistry of Life theme at LINXS will organise a postgraduate/postdoc symposium for young researchers.
The event will take place in Lund, Sweden, and is organised by postgraduate students from Leicester University, UK. The symposium will focus on introducing different techniques and different biological problems. We will network and identify how our research groups could work together. The meeting will be a unique experience and excellent training in multidisciplinary science. Welcome!
When: 30–31 May, 2024. Lunch-to-lunch including evening buffet at LINXS on the 30/5.
Where: at LINXS in Lund, Sweden (Scheelevägen 19, Lund), Workshop room on the 5th floor.
Organisers: Chemistry of Life Theme at LINXS, Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology second-year PhD students.
Abstract deadline: 15 March 2024 - will be extended! You are still welcome to submit your abstract.
Description
A Leicester postgraduate students-organised event to meet and discuss research with their counterparts from Lund, and wider afield. We will network and identify how our research groups could work together to tackle complex problems in the life sciences and hope to spearhead collaborations between research groups in the UK and Europe. The meeting will also be a unique experience and excellent training in multidisciplinary science.
There will be opportunities to submit an abstract for oral (limited number) or poster presentations.
There will be 3 sessions, including:
Structure, function and dynamics of macro-molecular complexes
Chemical biology
The role of metals and small molecules in biology
Preliminary Programme
Speakers will be announced soon. Please submit your abstract if you wish to have a talk or present a poster during the symposium.
