The Cuban Section of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Center for Protein Studies of
The University of Havana, and The Center for Molecular Immunology jointly with the
International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are pleased to announce the
Advanced School on Experimental and Bioinformatic Tools for Protein 3D-structure
Determination to be held in Varadero, Matanzas, Cuba, from November 9th to 13th, 2015.
The School will comprise different topics related to the experimental determination of protein
three-dimensional (3D) structure as well as structural bioinformatics tools for protein function
annotation, protein-protein interaction analysis and drug design. The School is oriented to
postgraduates and young researchers seeking for fundamental knowledge on protein
crystallisation, 3D-structure determination and related bioinformatics methods. The main goal of
the School is to help participants to understand and incorporate these topics into their research
and teaching activities. The course will be organised in around 20 lecturers and students will
participate in round-table discussions and share their results with experts and colleagues in two
poster sessions.
Applications to the Advanced School must be sent from May 1st to 31st, 2015, to:
[email protected], in a single pdf file written in English with no more than 2
Mb in size.
Application form will contain the title of the poster presentation, authors, authors’ affiliation, and
an abstract not exceeding 250 words. Also a letter expressing the interest in attending the School
and a recommendation letter from the supervisor will be attached.
A total number of 40 participants will be chosen by an international committee and around 10-15
fellowships covering registration fees and partial travel and/or lodging expenses will be granted.
Registration fees will be 100€ for postgraduate students, 150€ for academics and 200€ for
industry researchers.
