This symposium is held in honor of Wim Hol as an inspirator of science, a rigorous and enthousiastic mentor. It will give a broad overview of current state-of-the art science in protein structure and function.
The meeting is open to anyone interested, with a special invitation to anyone who has collaborated or otherwise been associated with Wim. However, please note that registration is required (see registration page).
As all speakers have been taught by Professor Dr. Wim Hol at some point in their careers the main focus area’s will be on:
Since Wim obviously had labs both in the Netherlands and the US finding a location was difficult. However, since he has been a member of the KNAW, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences throughout, we thought it would be fitting to hold the meeting in the age-old Trippenhuis, in the center of Amsterdam. This combines easy access with a central location, since the Academy is close to Schiphol airport.
