3rd Protein Materials Conference
This conference will bring together researchers and students from fields related protein material, including new bioplastics, food production, biomedicine and nanomaterials. This year we will have a special focus on how protein material research can help us move towards the UN sustainable development goals.
Tid: To 2019-03-07 kl 10.00 - Fr 2019-03-08 kl 16.00
Plats: KTH Albanova, Stockholm

The conference is an initiative of the Swedish Protein Materials Network . Thanks to generous support of the KTH sustainability office, FORMAS and VR, the conference is free of charge for all participants.
The conference is open for abstract submissions for both poster and oral presentations. Abstract submission deadline is on the 20th of January
We have already signed up a number of exceptional national and international speakers:
Sierin Lim (NTU, Singapore) - Hybrid nanodevices by utilizing protein engineering
Marleen Kamperman (Groningen, Netherlands) - Bio-inspired functional polymers
Artur Manuel Cavaco Paulo (University of Minho, Portugal) - Enzymes for textile, cosmetics, and drug delivery
Oliver Lieleg (TUM, Germany) - Mucus rheology and tribology
Ramune Kuktaite (SLU) - Wheat protein materials
Karin Åkerfeldt (Lund/ Haverford College) - Protein materials for light harvesting and ion sensing)
More speakers will be announced.
