Join us for a workshop on intrinsically-disordered proteins in transcription and gene regulation, bringing together talks on IDPs and IDRs, protein interactions, molecular dynamics, single-molecule methods, instrumentation, protein studies, and drug discovery.
Please note that this workshop takes place in Leicester
When: Tuesday 24 November 2026, 09:30–17:30 (CET)
Where: University of Leicester
Registration deadline: Monday 16 November
About
This workshop will explore analytical modelling of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), focusing on small-angle scattering (SAS), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, experimental design and data analysis to improve the structural characterisation of LNPs.
