Synopsis
Like every year, the Meeting of the Biological Macromolecules Section of the Italia Crystallographic Association will promote interactions between young and expert structural biologists, in order to enrich everyone’s scientific experience. This edition, in the form of a Satellite of ECM34, will be dedicated to an update of the novel Infrastructural opportunities in Italy.
Indeed, valuable infrastructure for structural biology has been installed in several Italian labs, including cryoEM microscopes, SAXS, mass spectrometers. Also, novel realities have grown that offer training and access to several infrastructural platforms. This event offers a round table to discuss opportunities, access modalities, cricitisms, and ideas for an optimal use of the enormous infrastructural enhancement in the structural biology field. This is an opportunity not to be missed by all researchers, and in particular by young scientists, to increase their portfolio of structural biology skills.
