DESCRIPTION:Neutron-based experiments and other scattering methods are pla
 ying an increasingly vital role in advancing human health. They reveal hyd
 rogen-bond networks and the organization of surrounding water in complex m
 olecular assemblies. They provide structural insights under true physiolog
 ical conditions\, and enable the production of radioisotopes for medical i
 maging and cancer therapy. Thus neutrons have become an indispensable tool
  for the investigation of functional biological systems.\n \nA key streng
 th of neutron techniques is in their ability to exploit selective deuterat
 ion\, which allows for precise contrast matching of light elements in the 
 sample. Additinally\, they are inherently non-destructive. \n \nNeutron 
 and other scattering techniques offer unique opportunities to study mater
 ials for medical applications\, unravel the molecular mechanisms underlyin
 g disease\, and support the development of innovative drugs and therapeuti
 c strategies.\n \nThe following sessions are planned to demonstrate how t
 hese techniques can be combined with each other to contribute to further a
 dvances in this research area.\n \n\ndrug and vaccine delivery\ndrug desi
