RTP 10 year celebration seminars: Probing Biological and Chemical Structure
Wednesday 15th May 2024, 1.30pm-4pm - In-person event
Location: GLT3, Warwick Medical School
The Research Technology Platform (RTP) Department is hosting a seminar series to celebrate 10 years of the RTP programme.
This seminar brings together technical specialists from multiple RTPs to talk about their facilities and how they can help with your research, with a focus on analysis of biological and chemical structure. The RTPs offer a wide range of cutting-edge techniques and instrumentation for analysing the biological and chemical structure of samples, including dedicated facilities for proteomics, advanced bioimaging and advanced mass spectrometry.
The seminar is open to all members of the University who are interested in finding out more about how the RTPs can support their research in this area. You will also have an opportunity to hear from academics who have benefited from the RTP equipment, expertise and services.
