This virtual event will be held on September 15, 2023 from 3:30 - 7:30 PM IST. Time zone converter
This virtual BPS networking event will cover various aspects of macromolecular crowding incluences on protein function and dynamics. The event aims to bring together researchers across India investigating effects of macromolecular crowding on cellular events and processes. It will provide a platform to share new ideas and developments in respective research labs fostering collaboration among the researchers.
This event is being organized and hosted by BPS member Dr. Mithun Biswas, NIT Rourkela and Dr. Pramit Kumar Chowdhury, IIT Delhi.
