The 9th iHuman Forum, organized by the iHuman Institute at ShanghaiTech University, will be held at the ShanghaiTech University Conference Center from November 8 to 9, 2024.
Since its establishment, the iHuman Institute at ShanghaiTech University has successfully hosted the iHuman Forum eight times. This year's forum will focus on the theme AI-Driven Frontiers in Cell Signaling and Translational Research: Challenges and Opportunities, and will serve as one of the thematic forums of the 17th Pujiang Innovation Forum 2024. The 9th iHuman Forum covers three research topics: I. Membrane Protein Structure & Function, II. Target Mechanism & Drug Discovery, and III. In Situ Structural Biology.
The forum will provide a high-level platform for showcasing and exchanging the latest advancements in the fields of structural biology, chemical biology, computational biology, medicinal chemistry, and cryo-electron tomography. We warmly invite scientists and researchers from various research institutions, universities, and industry to participate and contribute to the exploration and innovation in these areas.
