iNEXT Workshop. Translating Structural Biology into Biomedical Applications

The field of structural biology is going through a major revolution,
enabling the study of ever more challenging targets and increasingly
contributing to the development of biomedical applications.
Structure-based and biophysical approaches are now well established in
industry as major tools supporting drug development and there is a
growing interest among academic labs in applying these techniques to
help develop chemical tools. New technologies for HT fragment-based
screening and cryo-electron microscopy are rapidly changing the field
and there is a strong potential for collaborations between scientists in
industry and academia in this area. The aim of this focused workshop is
to present the state of the art as well as to provide opportunities for
interaction between scientist from public and private institutions. The
workshop will include keynote lectures from scientists in industry and
academia as well as presentations on new technologies and access
opportunities within the H2020 structural biology project iNEXT.
Abstracts from participants with a focus on translational potential will
be selected for oral presentations.
