In this EFMC short course, experts in the field will provide a
firm conceptual framework for the study of target binding kinetics. Tutorials and real life examples will assist the participants in the short course to grasp not only a basic understanding but also to bring home inspiring case studies from both an academic and industrial perspective. The number of participants will be limited to 35 to assure interactive and in-depth discussions.

Organised by Ad Ijzerman, Laura Heitman and Henk Timmerman
