How to Look at Protein Adsorption - a Practical Approach
31st May - 1st June, 2007 in Benzon Auditorium
The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 2, 2100 Copenhagen Ø
Aim and background
Protein adsorption is a complex problem to address in the laboratory and several techniques are required to give a complete picture of the phenomena. The aim of the symposium is to exchange experiences in practice with different methods to study protein adsorption, structural changes upon adsorption and problems and challenges related to this area.
