NMR in Europe: Inauguration of the upgraded high-field NMR centre at the EMBL
You are invited to celebrate with us the opening of the upgraded high-field NMR centre at the EMBL, Heidelberg. This 1-day symposium will bring together European NMR experts to present the enormous advances of NMR in the past years, both in terms of technology and applications, and to discuss the steadily increasing role of NMR in structural biology of the cell.
