To celebrate SBiNLab’s 25^th anniversary we cordially invite you to celebrate with us Saturday 23^rd August at the Biocenter, Ole Maaløes Vej 5, 2200 Copenhagen. During the day we will have a symposium entitled ‘New Horizons in Protein Dynamics’ with international and national speakers with roots in the discoveries and research areas of the last 25 years of SBiNLab.

• Participation in the symposium is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Please register for the symposium here.
• Find the full programme here.

The program gathers researchers studying protein dynamics across disciplines, with NMR and computation as central topics. Notably, the program offers a broad overview with ample opportunity for networking and discussion to spur new collaborations across disciplines. Confirmed international speakers include:

Ad Bax (Lab. of Chemical Physics, National Institute of Health, USA) has a life-long track record in developing and extending the capability of NMR methods to study the structure, dynamics, folding and misfolding of proteins, as well as static and dynamic interactions between macromolecules. 

Frauke Gräter (Institute for Theoretical Studies, Heidelberg, DE.) uses high performance computing and simulation techniques on different time and size scales to decipher how proteins respond to mechanical forces in the cellular environment or behave as a biomaterial. F. Gräter is also Director at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany.

Harald Schwalbe (Goethe University Frankfurt, DE) develops and applies NMRspectroscopy to study biomacromolecules for obtaining a molecular understanding of fundamental mechanism also involving RNA and DNA. H. Schwalbe is the Executive Director of Instruct-ERIC, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium.

Sarah Shammas (Oxford University, UK) studies the role of protein disorder in transcriptional regulation using quantitative methods, kinetics and mechanistic decomposition. Shammas has made recent contributions to the field that contradict the established paradigm.

Mikael Akke (Lund University, S) studies protein dynamics over a wide range of time scales addressing the role of protein dynamics in various types of function and dysfunction, including ligand binding, allostery and enzyme catalysis. He develops new NMR methods and often interpret the results in combination with molecular dynamics simulations.
