Kobilka Institute of Innovative Drug Discovery
On December 16, 2019, a seminar entitled "Structural Biology" was successfully hosted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) Kobilka Institute for Innovative Drug Discovery and co-organized by the School of Life and Health Sciences in Hong Kong (Shenzhen). Six professors from the Hong Kong Chinese (Shenzhen) School of Life and Health Sciences and three professors from the School of Life Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong shared their latest research achievements and progress in the field of structural biology. Although the final exam is nearing, the seminar still attracted the participation of many faculty and students. The activity site was frequently interactive and full of joy. Through a full day of communication, the participants received a full stock, updated and enriched their knowledge reserves to varying degrees, and further learned about the current state of development in several directions in the field of structural biology.
In addition to the above seminar guests, well-known experts and scholars from the following institutions are invited to come to our school to give keynote speeches.
