SwedNMR Meeting: Unravelling BioSolids mysteries by novel NMR approaches

ABOUT

Date: 17th-18th November 2025
Venue: KBF301 room, KBC building, Umeå, Sweden (MAP)

SwedNMR offers state-of-the-art NMR infrastructure and expertise to study a wide range of biosolids with atomic-level insight, including crystalline materials, drugs, biomembranes, protein aggregates, as well as plant and medical biopsies. SwedNMR via its Umeå node is the first word-wide to offer both ultra-fast solid-state MAS NMR and CryoMAS-NMR solid-state providing a new dimension in structural information and sensitivity for bioSolids. Together with the DNP facility at the NMR Centre in Gothenburg, SwedNMR provides world-wide unique structural and dynamic insights into complex biological solids and tiny intact biospecimens.

This meeting highlights current achievements and discusses future directions in method development and new application areas.
