WIDEN-ITC: WIDENING KNOWLEDGE

AFFINImeter Conferences

WIDEN-ITC 2014

Worldwide reference research scientists on molecular interactions analyse technical advances in Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) at WIDEN-ITC.

Organised by AFFINImeter, a spin-off of the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (USC), WIDEN-ITC will take place  September 10th at the Faculty of Physics of USC, with participation of about ten worldwide experts on specialised scientific software.

Advances in research for the development and analysis of chemical products, with applications in areas such as the pharmaceutical industry or material sciences, have been showing the shortcomings of available software for the efficient analysis of data from experimental techniques such as Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC). The AFFINImeter software, a result of progress recently made to overcome these limitations, was launched in the international marketplace with a Software as a Service model, and is now being tested by 40 researchers from 25 countries.

The creators of AFFINImeter have invited at WIDEN-ITC some of the best worldwide reference scientists in ITC, with expertise in both current use and in the development of technological innovations that will shape the future of research with this particular technique. Prestigious researchers such as Philippe Dumas from University of Strasbourg, Adrián Velázquez from University of Zaragoza, and Ángel Piñeiro from USC and creator of AFFINImeter, among others, will work for three days with experts from industry, such as Natalia Markova from Malvern Microcal, to exchange knowledge and experience on the limitations of current software and new possibilities offered by technological advances.
