Aim

Calorimetric instruments are being increasingly adopted as the method of choice for the measurement of thermodynamic parameters associated with biomolecular interactions. As a result it is important to bring together scientists with interests in this field to discuss usage (and abusage) of these methods. The meeting will focus on the determination and interpretation of the calorimetric data and how these impinge on the understanding of biological systems. The purpose of the meeting is to encourage the interaction between students and young scientist, mostly from Latin-America, with senior researchers from the international scientific community.
