Multivalent interactions: Old concept, new tricks Dr Stefano Angioletti Uberti, Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London Arguably,multivalency has been used since the 1970s as a mechanism to increase the binding strength while using weak ligand-receptor pairs. While this (somewhat naive) view as a general approach to increase binding strength must be taken with a pinch ... Read more
In this first workshop, we will explore how various IBEC groups and external researchers are using new technologies to develop personalized therapies for rare diseases. The opening seminar features Adriana Gonzalez from IBEC’s “Molecular Imaging for Precision Medicine” group. She will explain how the group studies myotonic dystrophy type I, a rare muscular disease, using ... Read more
