The Astbury Conversation
- Date: Monday 16 April 2018
- Location: University of Leeds
- Type: Conferences
- Cost: Lecture: Free, Symposium: £49
The Astbury Conversation is designed to give an insight into life in molecular detail.
The second biennial Astbury Conversation aims to bring together leading researchers from across the globe to discuss the most recent progress in the field of structural molecular biology in its broadest sense. This event is inspired by the pioneering work at Leeds of the Braggs (Nobel prize 1913), and in the 1930s to 60s of Professor Bill Astbury, FRS, a field of research continued today in the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology.
It is fitting that more than 100 years after the Braggs’ Nobel Prize winning breakthrough we celebrate discoveries in structural molecular biology both within the University and across the wider scientific community by hosting the Astbury Conversation as one of the highlights of the University calendar.
The programme includes;
- An academic Symposium themed around “Allostery in Biology” to include prestigious talks, selected presentations and poster sessions
- Plenary Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Kobilka of Stanford University,
- A Public Engagement Event themed around “Understanding More about the Secret Life of Molecules”, followed by a wine reception.
