Francisco Corzana is part of the ProteinConjugate international consortium that was recently awarded with a 2.5 million € Marie Curie ITN grant.
The ProteinConjugates is an innovative science & training program that aims to develop new site-selective bioconjugation methodologies that explore natural amino acids and their use to build protein conjugates for the treatment of cancer, by providing advanced training to the next generation of excellent European researchers. |
