The Webster Centre presents the 2019 QMB satellite symposium: Infectious Diseases and Membrane Proteins, on 1 and 2 September, as part of Queenstown Research Week.
This satellite meeting will focus on infectious diseases and will highlight membrane protein structure and function important in infectious disease pathogenesis and anti-microbial resistance. Sessions will cover tuberculosis, host-pathogen interactions, malaria, virology, fungi, and drug discovery; advances in membrane biology; and membrane protein structure. There will be a joint session with the Biomolecular Interactions Satellite meeting.
This meeting will be a great opportunity for those working in the field of membrane biology, structural biology, microbiology and infectious diseases to present their research and facilitate collaborations.
Venue: Rydges Hotel, Queenstown
Registration and information: Queenstown Research Week Website
