Conference on molecular science starts in Budapest

Three Nobel Prize laureates and several top researchers are participating in Molecular Frontiers, a two-day scientific conference that started in Budapest on Thursday, organisers said. The conference focuses on interdisciplinary research in protein sciences and pharmacology with a view to connecting young scientists and the older generation, Tamas Beke-Somfai said. All the three Nobel Prize winners--Kurt Wuethrich (chemistry), Arieh Warshel (chemistry) and Tim Hunt (medicine)--will give lectures, he said.
