Pesquisadores discutem avanço da cristalografia na América Latina

During the Latin American Summit Meeting on Biological Crystallography and Complementary Methods, a group of 100 researchers from nine countries met to discuss research in biological crystallography - an area devoted to the study of protein crystals to understand biological processes, unveil the emergence and progression of diseases and developing new drugs.

The year 2014 was chosen by UNESCO to be the International Year of Crystallography commemorating the centennial of the area. The event was held 22-24 September at the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), in Campinas (SP).

Interviews with:

• Marvin Hackert - President of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr);
• Richard Garratt - Institute of Physics of São Carlos (USP);
• André Luis Berteli Ambrose - National Bioscience Laboratory (LNBio - CNPEM).
