The Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) at the University of California, San Francisco, the University of Alberta, and Gladstone Institutes will host a joint symposium, “From Infection to Neuro-Inflammation: Atomic Structure, Modeling & Clinical Impact,” on May 29, 2026 at UCSF.
We will explore the intricate connections between infectious diseases and neuro-inflammation, focusing on the role of atomic structure and computational modeling in understanding these processes.
Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge research that bridges molecular science and clinical applications, highlighting how structural biology and advanced modeling techniques can inform the diagnosis and treatment of neuro-inflammatory conditions.
This event is designed for researchers and students interested in neuroimmunology, infectious diseases, and translational medicine. This symposium aims to build collaborative relationships between scientists with a view towards partnership.
