Biophysical Approaches to Protein Folding and Disease is a satellite meeting to the European biophysics congress (IUPAB-EBSA2017) in Edinburgh, UK. It focuses on how complementary molecular-scale biophysical methods can be applied to the timely study of the biomedically-pressing issue of protein misfolding. It is organized by the ARBRE-MOBIEU molecular biophysics European network (www.arbre-mobieu.eu) and can […]

Most of the presentations given at SciDataCon 2016 which took place in September in Denver, Colorado are now available from the conference website alongside the accepted abstract for the paper. Each session and the abstracts and papers that comprised it are best accessed from the programme page http://www.scidatacon.org/2016/programme/

Two PhD positions now available in our research group in the framework of a Science Foundation Ireland SIRG award. Each studentship is for 3 years, with a potential extension for 1 extra year. The two PhD projects are based at the School of Physics, University College Dublin. They are in the field of biophysics and […]

Early Career Travel Grants are to assist young biophysicists, especially from developing countries, and applications will open from Monday, January 09, 2017. These IUPAB awards are intended to supplement, rather than to fully pay travel expenses. Maximum award is $1000 Euros and minimum is $250 Euros. The awards are not intended to cover the cost […]

This School was held jointly with IUBMB/IUPAB/IUPS. The Spetses Summer Schools have been held annually since 1966, and over the years have attracted more than fifteen Nobel Laureates and more than five hundred different lecturers, to teach more than five thousand young pre- and post-doctoral researchers. The program included lectures, posters and various traiing sessions […]

This workshop was held under the combined auspices of FEBS and IUBMB, and supported in part by a grant from IUPAB to assist participation by five young scientists. The Scientific Report is attached here Spain SCIENTIFIC REPORT

The Regional Biophysical School “Academician Radoslav K. Andjus” (NERKA) was established in honor of Professor R.K. Andjus (1926-2003), an internationally recognized scientist from the University of Belgrade, a member and founder of Montenegrin and Serbian academies of sciences and arts. This was the sixth school, organized traditionally by the Biophysical Society of Serbia, co-organized by […]

The 9th K. H. Kuo Summer School of Electron Microscopy Crystallography was held in Beijing, China from June 24 to 30, 2016, organized by Hongwei Wang (Tsinghua University, China) and Peijun Zhang (University of Pittsburgh, USA). IUPAB contributed funding to support the summer school. The organizers invited more than 40 famous scientists in the field […]

Engineering Approaches to Biomolecular Motors: From in vitro to in vivo In June, approximately 100 scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds gathered in Vancouver, Canada, at Simon Frasier University for the Biophysical Society thematic meeting, Engineering Approaches to Biomolecular Motors: From in vitro to in vivo. The program ranged from artificial motors based on DNA, […]

The Chianti Workshop 2016 provided a timely and insightful perspective on the integrated use of a wide range of the most powerful biophysical techniques to address fundamental questions regarding biomolecular structure and function. The topics covered in the program included the most recent and innovative developments in magnetic resonance and their synergistic combination with electron […]
