In collaboration with: Istituto di Biochimica delle Proteine – CNR Napoli
The Institute of Protein Biochemistry CNR opened its laboratories in Naples to disseminate research and scientific knowledge among young people, teachers and all those interested in basic research and biotechnology applications. Thanks to high resolution microscopies more than 100 people saw the structures of the proteins and how these interact with each other and with other molecules present inside and outside cells. They learned about the full potential of the immune system, the latest generation of vaccines and immunotherapies, how life evolved under extreme cold conditions in the Antarctic environment, and how innovative enzymes for environmental decontamination were discovered.
