EuroNeurotrophin Training Events
The EuroNeurotrophin consortium has planned a series of regular network-wide activities and unique events with the aim of creating a framework for joint research and training of the PhD students, mutual exchange and exposure of the students to a wider audience. The events cover a range of formats, from unique workshops organised specifically for the EuroNeurotrophin network to well established international conferences.

SCHOOL - 2: Structural biology approaches for neurodegeneration
Wednesday - Saturday, 30 September-3 October 2020 The 4-day long school included theoretical lectures on important bioinformatics topics. The ESRs also had the chance to build a model of a neurotrophin by comparative modelling. In all practicals, the answers to the questions were discussed in parallel with a demonstration of the practical steps. The second part of the School 3 was about Macromolecular X-Ray crystallography. The two days were organized in order to give first the basis of X-Ray crystallography and second hands-on experience on processing real diffraction data. |
