2nd Fidabio User Group Meeting

We are delighted to invite you to our 2nd User Group Meeting – an exclusive event for Fida technology users, during which you will be able to get trained and get new insights on how you can use your Fida platform to the fullest. The event setup is a mix of presentations and small knowledge – dissemination sessions, during which you will be able to learn from our Fida experts, as well as other users!

100% of previous edition’s participants rated their experience as either excellent or very good.

Who are our key note speakers?

• Andreas Laustsen, Professor, Tropical Pharmacology DTU, “Discovery and characterization of antibodies and nanobodies against toxins from bacteria and venomous animals”
• Duncan Smith, Senior Scientist, Peak Proteins, “FIDA at Peak proteins – Six months later”
• Andrew Quigley, Membrane Protein Lab Group Leader, Diamond Light Source, – ”Using Flow Induced Dispersion Analysis to support integrative membrane protein structural biology.”

What can attending this event give you?

• Access to expertise of worldwide renown experts
• Advice and support from other Fida 1 users and our in-house specialists
• New insights = innovation = inspiration
• New, valuable connections
• All the above in pleasant environment of Odd Fellow’s Mansion, with fun evening activities, and delicious New Scandinavian cuisine
