COST Action CA15126

Molecular-scale biophysics is a dynamic and ever-expanding interdisciplinary field that aims to study biological macromolecules and assemblies as a whole, at an intermediate level between atomic-resolution structural descriptions and cellular-level observations (“Between Atom and Cell”), with significant applications in biomedicine and drug discovery. The MOBIEU Action aims to seed a large-scale pan-European interdisciplinary synergistic clustering, allowing to ally and synergize the power of spectroscopic, hydrodynamic, real-time microfluidic, thermodynamic and single-molecule approaches.

Our Facilities

Essential infrastructures to the research activities

CIQUP research facilities are mainly located in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (DQB) that is one of the six departments of Faculty of Sciences of University of Porto, FCUP.
CIQUP research resources are distributed by 17 laboratories that occupy about 1000 m2 at DQB.
Offices for permanent staff, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students are also available. Some scientific instruments of DQB may be shared by the staff and researchers of CIQUP and of other research units.
