InstructThe 2018 PCISBIO Day is taking place on 5th July 2018 in Portugal at the 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;
Program is as follows:
