VIII PosLatAm course: Membrane Lipids, Transporters, Channels…and all that crosstalk The VIII PosLatam Course will take place in Salto, Uruguay on November 23-25, 2015. The Course will primarily focus on current ideas/topics in Membrane Biophysics, giving the attendees the opportunity to interact with worldwide experts and Latin-American students. Main Topics: Biophysical properties of lipid membranes Structure/Function of membrane proteins Protein/lipid interactions
The
event will aim to create an interdisciplinary collaboration amongst the
attendees by dedicating an entire session to poster presentations. Applicants
