Hands-on in Structural Biology - from Sample to Structure Determination at University of Padua is designed for students from biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, and related fields who are eager to master cutting-edge experimental and computational techniques.
Key facts:
Mornings will introduce the theoretical foundations of X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and computational structural biology, including AI-based tools for data interpretation.
