Title: The power of scattering and imaging in understanding and treating disease

When: 26 November, 2024

Where: Rådslaget, Forum Medicum (Sölvegatan 19, 223 62 Lund)

The IPDD Theme’s ambition is to raise awareness and knowledge on how scattering and imaging techniques can be used to understand diseases and develop pharmaceuticals to treat them. During this day, cutting-edge research within clinical science will be highlighted to inspire and encourage new and old users to apply X-rays, neutrons and electrons to address key scientific questions.
