From Program/Abstract book "Affinity 2005"
Welcome to Affinity 2005
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 16th Affinity Conference to be held in Uppsala, Sweden on August 14-18, 2005. Uppsala hosts northern Europe´s oldest university, the workplace for luminaries such as Linnaeus, Celsius, and Arrhenius, and this has been the site of path-breaking developments in protein separation from the early 1920’s to the present. Well known are Profs. The Svedberg (the ultracentifuge), Arne Tiselius (electrophoresis and chromatography), and Jerker Porath (gel filtration, affinity chromatography and IMAC).
The Uppsala-Stockholm area now claims to be one of the most life-science company-dense regions in the world and company visits are planned as part of the program.
Uppsala University is also the stage for the grand opening reception on August 14 and the introductory note will be given by Prof. William Goddard III of Caltech. The meeting is held at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala.
