BACKGROUND INFO

The Murnau Conference is an international meeting covering current issues in the wide field of modern structural biology. A clear goal of the conference, which will take place this year for the 4th time, is to bring together the most eminent scientists in the field with young researchers in a casual atmosphere in the heart of Europe. The first three meetings in the series took place in 2005 (Structural Biology of Molecular Recognition), 2007 (Structural Biology of Disease Mechanisms) and 2010 (Structural Biology of the Modern RNA World). Murnau is a picturesque small town located directly at lake Staffelsee in the Bavarian alpine upland between Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. There will be an exciting social program including a typical Bavarian evening in a fashionable microbrewery and ample time for stimulating discussions with participants from all over the world.

With best regards,

Prof. Dr. Dirk Heinz
in the name of the organization committee
