Katzir Conference: Molecular Perspectives on Protein-Protein Interactions

Yet, this subject has not been given a podium on its own. For this reason, we have decided to organize this conference with the intention to bring together scientists addressing problems of protein-protein interaction from different perspectives. The conference will emphasize the understanding of protein-protein interactions on the molecular and biophysical level, the identification and characterization of protein-protein interaction in vivo and in vitro, as well as the role of protein-protein interactions in cellular processes and in diseases.
