Venue location
Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, University of Oulu, Aapistie 7, Oulu, Finland
The event will include seminars, demonstrations and hands-on experiments. Time is also reserved for the participants to measure their own samples and for discussions with the experts. As expert speakers, there will be Ganesh Pathmanayagam from TgK Hi-Tech, UK and Dr. Alex Fish from NKI, Netherlands. In addition, Professor Mikael Widersten (University of Uppsala, Sweden) has agreed to give a lecture on using stopped-flow data for understanding enzyme reaction mechanisms. For information, registration and for measurement of own samples contact Tiila Kiema (tiila.kiema(at)oulu.fi) by December 4, 2022. The number of participants will be limited to 12. There is no registration fee. Please indicate if you need help with hotel arrangements and assistance for covering the accommodation costs.
