Research Site - Portugal

The Portuguese Instruct Research Site (Instruct-PT) is formed by two centres located at FC-ULisboa, Lisboa and ITQB NOVA, Oeiras. Together, they provide expertise and advanced integrative training in native and structural mass spectrometry, macromolecular crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, SAXS and biophysical characterisation. Instruct-PT hosts state of the art equipment in MRMS and NMR, and provides pilot access to MRMS.

The Portugal research site will host annual meetings of the Portuguese structural biology community, fostering networking, cohesion and esprit de corps. These activities will benefit young researchers by providing contact with the latest technologies and, most importantly, world leading researchers in the field that will provide inspiring role-models and outreach opportunities.
