The 1st Singapore Structural Biology Symposium (SSBS) is a vibrant symposium and networking platform to showcase and focus on advanced, cutting-edge research in the field of macromolecular X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) as well as other structural biology techniques. The symposium will feature leading local structural biologists and young, aspiring researchers.
The symposium will be held on the 24th and 25th of May 2022, at the School of Biological Sciences, NTU. Registration for participation is open and FREE to all local institution staff and students. The registration period is between 25th March 2022 to 25th April 2022. For enquiries, contact Ms. Lynette Liew drop us an E-mail.
Registration is closed
