Welcome to the 1st BioStruct MasterClass 2010 "Approaches to determine Protein Structures"

The NRW Research School BioStruct is an international graduate school at the Heinrich-Heine-University in Düsseldorf with a focus on structural biology and their application in molecular medicine and biotechnology. International fellows do research here in 21 working groups from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Medical Faculty, the Research Center Jülich and the Max-Planck-Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry in Mülheim.

BioStruct’s MasterClass 2010 is organized by the PhD-Fellows of NRW Research School BioStruct. This meeting will bring together students from diverse backgrounds with renowned scientists in the area of structural biology research.

Therefore the NRW Research School BioStruct invites young researchers from the field of Structural Biology to the 1st ‘BioStruct’s MasterClass 2010’, at:



We have invited speakers to provide us a deep insight into complex structural biology techniques. We also invite students to give 15 minute oral presentation or poster presentation based on their research work.

During the Master Class 2010 there will be time for networking in addition to scientific presentations, discussions and poster presentations. For example, a visit to the famous old town of the state capital Düsseldorf and a barbecue in a relaxed atmosphere on the campus of the Heinrich-Heine-University are planned.

We look forward to welcome you at the MasterClass and are available for any questions you may have. More information can be found at www.biostruct.de.
