[Meeting] PCISBIO Day @ ITQB-NOVA

PCISBIO Day @ ITQB-NOVA

The main purposes of this meeting are

To update the Portuguese scientific community involved in Integrated Structural Biology in the current situation of the European Infrastructure Instruct;

To inform the participants of success stories of the use of the platforms available through Instruct, with national and international examples;

To further motivate the Portuguese scientists of taking advantage of Instruct as researchers of a member country of this infrastructure;
