Welcome

Biochemistry has a long and outstanding history in Sweden. It has transformed both industry and basic research since its emergence, and is at the focal point of Life Sciences today. Nobel Laureate Arne Tiselius played a central role in the development of biochemistry in Sweden and internationally. To carry on his legacy and reinforce the Swedish biochemistry community we are organising a Tiselius symposium that brings together world leading international biochemists and Swedish biochemists.

Confirmed speakers

• Prof. Lori Passmore (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK) – Molecular insights into the mRNA poly(A) tail machinery
• Prof. Markku Varjosalo (University of Helsinki, Finland) – Exploring Protein-Protein Interactions in Disease and Therapy
• Prof. Katja Luck (Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Mainz, Germany) – Variant characterization in the intrinsically disordered human proteome
• Prof. Arne Elofsson (Stockholm University, Sweden) – Towards a complete human interactome
• Prof. Richard Neutze (Gothenburg University, Sweden) – Time-resolved serial crystallography of conformational changes in cytochrome c oxidase
• Prof. Katja Petzold (Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala university, Sweden) – Dancing RNA: How RNA structural dynamics is the key to function
• Prof. Philip Ash (University of Leicester, UK) – Electrifying the future of crystallography: combining techniques for mechanistic insight
• Dr. Geoff Holdgate (ex AstraZeneca, UK) – The Value of Traditional Skills: Enzymology & Biophysics in Early Drug Discovery.
