Researchers all over the world are invited to attend DiPIA 2024
Venue: Kistamässan Exhibition & Congress Centre, Arne Beurlings Torg 5, 164 40 Kista, Sweden
What is DiPIA?
DiPIA, or Developments in Protein Interaction Analysis, is a global scientific conference hosted by Cytiva. We bring peers together from across the industry to share best practices, research, and new applications. This conference is dedicated to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology as featured in our Biacore™ SPR systems.
The theme for this year’s DiPIA is Exploring the Unknown. Expect to see the past, present, and future of exploration. Stay tuned for more updates on the theme as the event nears.
