Keep me postedAdd to calendarLive tickets are sold out
The discovery of nanobodies® by Raymond Hamers in the 1980s and the further development of the technology by Serge Muyldermans and Jan Steyaert fundamentally changed approaches in different areas of medicine. Nanobodies® are very useful in the diagnosis and treatment of serious and life-threatening diseases.
As nanobodies® were born at the University of Brussels, the VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology is very honored to organize the hybrid second edition of the Nanobody conference. This meeting series was launched in September 2019 at the University of Bonn by Florian Schmidt and Paul-Albert König.
During the 2day conference on 8-9 September 2021, leaders in the field will present their latest findings in sessions focused on:
- Nanobody engineering
- Innovative research tools
- Nanobodies® in diagnostics, imaging and microscopy
- Nanobodies® as therapeutic molecules
- Nanobodies® as anti-infectious agents
On Friday 10 September, a satellite event ‘Trends in structural biology’ will be held.
