Molecular-scale biophysics is the study of the architecture, dynamics and interactions of the giant molecules of life (proteins, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, lipids) via measurements of their physical properties. It is fundamental to both our understanding of how living organisms work, and our ability to block or enhance the function of these molecules, notably for therapeutic purposes. Deciphering the complexity of the behaviour of macromolecular assemblies requires a multi-faceted approach resorting to a large variety of distinct biophysical methods.
MOSBRI (Molecular-Scale Biophysics Research Infrastructure; is a geographically distributed, scientifically and technologically integrated consortium, combining the distinct instrumentation and expertise of 13 academic centres of excellence and 2 industrial partners from 11 different European countries, coordinated by Institut Pasteur (Paris, France) and funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission.
The MOSBRI 2022 conference, that will take place in Paris on June 20-22, showcases how our integrated network can tackle an unusually wide variety of life science research questions by exploring the new cutting edge developments in molecular biophysics. It includes an exciting line-up of invited presentations from MOSBRI partners, Scientific Advisory Board members and external speakers, as well as from scientists that have already benefitted from the free of charge Trans-National Access (TNA) opportunities that MOSBRI provides.
There will also be two poster sessions, allowing delegates, regardless of their proficiency in the field, to present their research, and to network and discuss with MOSBRI partners. Registrations and abstract submissions are now open (deadline 20th of May 2022). Registration fees have been kept as low as possible, with a significantly reduced fee for students and early career post-docs.
