<![CDATA[Comentarios al libro: BIOPHYSICS AND THE CHALLENGES OF EMERGING THREATS]]> Advance Study Institute (ASI) was held in Erice at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture on 19 through 30 June 2007. The ASI brought together a diverse group of experts who bridged the fields of
virology and biology, biophysics, chemistry and physics.

Prominent lecturers and students from around the world representant a total of 24 countries participated in the NATO ASI organized by Professors
Joseph Puglisi (Stanford University, USA) and Alexander Arseniev (Moscow, RU). The central hypothesis underlying this ASI was that interdisciplinary research, merging principles of physics, chemistry and biology, can drive new
discovery in detecting and fighting bioterrorism agents, lead to cleaner environments, and help propel development in NATO partner countries. The ASI merged the related disciplines of biophysics, biochemistry and molecular
structure to treat, detect, and understand emerging infectious diseases. It addressed the treatment and detection of bioterrorism agents, and focused on critical partner country priorities in biotechnology, materials, drug
discovery and the environment. It provided crossroads discussing new technologies in biophysics and structural biology, their implications pathogen detection and treatment and their role in partner country development. The ASI
allowed deep and wide-ranging discussion between lecturers and students, providing overviews of key areas and links between them.

The range of topics represent the diversity of critical
problems between structural biology, biochemistry and biophysics, in which lies the fertile ground of drug development, biotechnology and new materials.]]> Sat, 06 Jun 2026 11:01:13 +0000 es Copyright 2021 BiblioEteca Technologies SL
