Using Neutrons and X-rays to Understand Life
Are you working within biology, life science and medicine and are trying to better understand cell behaviour?
If so, then you should also know about neutron and x-ray technologies well-known in academia within material science/technology, but has not yet been widely utilized by biotech businesses in Norway.
You are invited to attend this meeting and to hear from experts in this field, and learn about their techniques to make models to characterize and study cell membranes, peptides, nanoparticles and other structures.
Participants can listen to and join discussions about the usefulness of these tools and discover how they can be applied in your field.
Particularly, the Norwegian biotech community will benefit from knowing about these methods, and utilize this opportunity to network with counterparts already using this technology.
