The discovery of nanobodies by Raymond Hamers in the 1980s and the further development of the technology by Serge Muyldermans and Jan Steyaert fundamentally changed approaches in different areas of medicine. Nanobodies are very useful in the diagnosis and treatment of serious and life-threatening diseases.
As nanobodies were born at the University of Brussels, the VIB-VUB Center for Structural Biology is organising the hybrid second edition of the Nanobody conference. This meeting series was launched in September 2019 at the University of Bonn by Florian Schmidt and Paul-Albert König.

Throughout the two-day conference 8-9 September 2021, leaders in the field will present their latest findings in sessions focused on:
On Friday 10 September, a satellite event ‘Trends in Structural Biology’ will be held.
The scientific program (presentations, Q&A’s, and poster sessions) will be available for both live and virtual audiences. The virtual platform also offers several ways of interacting with each other through (video) chat. On top of this there will be live poster presentations for those attending the event in Brussels.
