NMR in Biomedical Research: from Metabolomics to Structural Biology

A one-day Symposium to mark the refurbishment and installation of new NMR spectrometers in the NMR Facility of King's College London. The Facility enables NMR-based research at King's from metabolomics to structural biology. Keynote speakers will include:

Prof. Lucia Banci, CERM, University of Florence, Italy

'The contribution of NMR to the description of cellular processes'

Dr. Martin Blackledge, Institut de Biologie Structurale, Grenoble, France

'NMR studies of large-scale protein conformational dynamics : From fundamental biophysics to functional biology'

Prof. Art Edison, University of Georgia, USA

'New methods for in vivo metabolomics'

Prof. Mike Shattock, King's College London, UK

'The Salt of the Earth: NMR studies of Na elevation and metabolic dysfunction in heart failure’

Shorter presentations will highlight some of the research being done at King's. These will include:

Dr. Stefi Benjamin, Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics (FoLSM)

'Allosteric communication in the Fc region of Immunoglobulin E'

Dr. Alessandro Sicorello, Department of Basic and Clinical Neuroscience (IoPPN)

'The structural properties in solution of the intrinsically mixed folded protein ataxin-3'

Miss Ingebjørg Hungnes, Division of Imaging Sciences and Biomedical Engineering (FoLSM)

'NMR Analysis of a Rhenium Bioconjugate: Modelling Novel Radioactive Medical Imaging Agents'

Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Registration is free but required for security and catering purposes. Please use your institutional email where possible.
