[Neutron] Invitation to LENS webinar #5 - Thursday 8 Oct at 11.00am | Microbial resistance and novel antibiotics

[Steph Monfront]

LENS Webinars on Global Health Threats


Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of major diseases, their prevention 
and treatment using neutron scattering

LENS Pilot Action 3, “Global Health Threats”, is organising a series of 
webinars to engage the biomedical research communities in a discussion 
on how neutron sources, together with other research infrastructures, 
can contribute to solving major health challenges. The webinars will 
look at current research and how neutron scattering studies can 
contribute to improvements in detection and diagnostics as well as the 
development of treatments and prevention methods.

*Thursday 8^th of October, 11.00am CET: *
*
*Microbial resistance and novel antibiotics
*
**Prof. Jeremy Lakey, Structural Biochemistry, Biosciences Institute,
The Medical School, University of Newcastle
*/Studying the surfaces of bacteria using neutron scattering.
Finding new openings for antibiotics/**

*Prof. Martin Malmsten, LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug 
Delivery, Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen
*/Antimicrobial peptides – from membrane interactions to drug delivery/**

/Chair: John Webster, ISIS neutron and muon facility/

*To participate in the Q&A, please join via Zoom:

*The webinar will also be streamed live****on the LENS website,* 
<https://www.lens-initiative.org/2020/09/29/lens-webinar-5-global-health-threats-microbial-resistance-and-novel-antibiotics/>*where 
a recording will be available afterwards.***

A LENS webinar series on /Global Health Threats/ runs in parallel with 
the /New Directions in Instrumentation/ series. The next webinars 
<https://www.lens-initiative.org/2020/06/02/lens-webinars/>include:
*22 October*: /Neutron Diffraction Instrumentation for stress 
determination/, with Thilo Pirling (ILL)

*26 November*: /Multiplexing spectrometers (TBA) /with Rasmus Toft 
Petersen (ESS)

/LENS, //_the League of Advanced European Neutron Sources_/ 
<https://www.lens-initiative.org/>/is a non-profit consortium of 
European neutron facilities with the aim of strengthening European 
science by developing a coherent strategy to meet current and future 
demands of the scientific communities. To ensure excellence, LENS places 
emphasis on the relationship between user communities and funding 
organizations, and the continuous improvement of LENS facilities as well 
as optimizing resources and aligning policies among the partners./
