About Us
PROFUSA Project
Welcome to the homepage of the IAP P6/19 project: PROFUSA
PROFUSA is the acronym for Proteins : interactions involved in folding, function and supramolecular assemblages. It aims at a better understanding of the intra and intermolecular interactions in proteins and is structured into three topics: interactions involved in protein folding, interactions involved in protein-ligand complex formation and interactions involved in supramolecular assemblages
It is an "Interuniversity Attraction Poles" Phase VI (2007-2011) Network project financed by the Belgian Scientific Policy (Belspo) in the life sciences domain.
Professor Bernard Joris from the Center for Protein Engineering is the coordinator of the project. Â PROFUSA assembles a critical mass of scientists (10 belgian partners and 1 UK partner) who are recognized in their fields. Indeed, many of the partners are presently considered as world leaders in the proposed study areas.
The project is financed by the Belgian Science Policy BelSPo under the IAP Phase VI Programme and is coordinated by the Centre for Protein Engineering of the University of Liège
