| Event Name | Latin American Summit Meeting on Biological Crystallography and Complementary Methods |
| Start Date | 22nd Sep 2014 |
| End Date | 24th Sep 2014 |
| Duration | 3 days |
| Description |
The opening lecture will be given by Nobel Laureate Ada Yonath (Israel). The participation of about 50 Latin American scientists is expected for the event, including representatives from Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela and Mexico amongst other countries. In total, there will be about 130 attendees. The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) – part of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) in Campinas will host the summit, and the choice of venue seems particularly appropriate for Latin America, considering that LNLS is currently constructing Sirius, the new Brazilian synchrotron source, which represents the potential of the region to become a major player in structural biology in the future. |
