Quantitative bioscience is becoming more and more important in defining the molecular processes of life. This includes the absolute measurement of biomolecular interactions in vitro and in vivo. In particular, complex systems are now being studied, using a holistic approach, in which biophysical measurements of individual components can be used to obtain kinetic models of biochemical pathways. In addition, the mechanism of action of drugs and methods of discovery of new drugs requires an understanding of the assay technologies available and one that best suits that interaction of study.
Who should attend?
We propose a workshop on ‘biomolecular interactions: current and future technologies’ which will be targeted to academic groups who have an interest in molecular interaction analysis/drug discovery and biotech companies who seek to employ such techniques in their laboratories. The focus of this course will be on label free methods (e.g. SPR and ITC) and fluorescence methods, with hands on experience on state of the art instrumentation currently available from leaders in the field. In addition delegates will Network with experts from both industry and academia.
Hear about the latest developments on label-free interaction analysis and fluorescence assay development. Share with and learn from experts in the field on measurement (binding and kinetic) assay technologies. Learn about innovative applications for biomolecule interaction analysis and be able to network and share experiences with other scientists from UK and around Europe.
