Symposium on Analytical Ultracentrifugation
The modern applications of analytical ultracentrifugation will be highlighted. The morning session will be dedicated to analytical ultracentrifugation, with a a special and broader afternoon session on emerging biophysical methods for the study of therapeutic lipid nanoparticles (AUC, SAXS, Light Scattering, Mass Photometry, Mass Spectrometry).
Sponsored by:
Johnson Foundation Biophysical & Structural Biology Core Facilities, The Institute for Structural Biology, and the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, with kind support from Beckman-Coulter
