14-16 July, Lisboa, Portugal
The International Symposium on Protein Interactions and Self-assembly will be held in the beautiful city of Lisboa, Portugal, from 14th to 16th July 2025. The meeting will include a strong scientific program consisting of experts in the protein folding and conformational diseases field, as well as on protein-based technologies. A broad spectrum of topics will be covered during this meeting, including biophysics of protein aggregates, molecular mechanisms of protein-protein interactions, approaches for targeting protein misfolding and aggregation, and functional protein-based biomaterials and therapeutics.
The program will also include oral and poster presentations selected from submitted abstracts.
We cordially invite you to attend the International Symposium on Protein Interactions and Self-assembly and contribute for shaping the future of this field!
