'Cryo-electron microscopy in structural biology'. A conference in memory of Emilia Chiancone
Dal 10/10/2019 ore 09.30 al 11/10/2019 ore 17.30
Sapienza University of Rome, Sala Odeion
Cnr, Sala Convegni
Cryo-electron microscopy is revolutionizing the understanding of physiology and pathology and it will allow us to design therapies with an unprecedented insight of biological targets.
We wish to honor the memory of Prof. Emilia Chiancone, who championed an integrative approach to biomedicine through excellent biochemistry and integrative structural biology in a synergy between Academia and CNR.
The Conference is intended to increase the awareness of the Sapienza, Cnr and italian scientific community of the most recent development in the determination of macromolecular and supramolecular complexes in precision medicine and rational drug design.
The methodology of single particle cryo-electron microscopy is revolutionizing the understanding of physiology and pathology: the determination of the structure of the insulin-insulin receptor complex, of the telomere and of the ryanodine receptor, just to name a few, will allow us to design therapies with an unprecedented insight of their biological targets. It is of crucial importance that the Italian larger public and scientific community achieve awareness of this scientific revolution, awarded the Nobel Prize in 2017.
