We are delighted to host the 5 th International Meeting on Biomolecules under Pressure in Regensburg. The meeting is supposed to be a platform for stimulating discussions on using high pressure techniques to study and manipulate biomolecules. The program is open to questions from a broad range of research areas including protein folding, the molecular basis of adaptation of life to extreme conditions, protein aggregation and the formation of amyloid fibers, dissociation of oligomeric proteins and applications of high pressure in biotechnology and medicine.
We look forward to bringing together as many researchers with different backgrounds as possible!
Best regards,
Hans Robert Kalbitzer, Meeting Organizer
