We are thrilled to present the Biomolecular Corona Online Symposium, organized by a newly formed research group at the University of Copenhagen, led by Professor Ben Boyd. Our mission is to investigate various aspects of corona formation in the gastrointestinal tract, while also addressing the need for a dedicated platform to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration within the rapidly advancing field of biomolecular corona.

Join us for two days of captivating discussions, enlightening presentations, and engaging panel debates as we delve into the latest research, future perspectives, and the pursuit of high-impact questions within this intriguing field. The symposium will bring together esteemed experts, early career researchers, and passionate individuals from around the globe to collectively advance our understanding of biomolecular corona.

Key Symposium Highlights

- Engage with leading researchers through insightful presentations and Q&A sessions

- Participate in interactive panel discussions, exploring research strategies, knowledge gaps, and potential applications

- Discover emerging themes and geographical perspectives in dedicated sessions

Foster collaboration and network with fellow participants from various time zones

Registration for the Biomolecular Corona Online Symposium is free, allowing access to a wealth of knowledge and cutting-edge research. We invite you to explore the preliminary program and schedule to gain an overview of the sessions, speakers, and captivating topics that await.
