    Announcing the 2026 BBS Biennial Meeting in Glasgow

    The British Biophysical Society Biennial Meeting will be in Glasgow in July 2026 as part of Synergy for Science, an umbrella for 7 learned societies to co-locate their meetings, sharing networking and joint sessions. The BBS meeting comprises a plenary programme of talks, flash presentations and networking over dinner and drinks, focussed on areas of biophysics that are of interest to BBS members and those outwith this community, for instance:

    • New tools for new biophysics
    • The single cell
    • Biophysics in health and disease
    • In silico biophysics
    • Engineering biology
    • Climate change and sustainability
    • Frontiers in biophysics

    We will hear from keynote speakers, speakers selected from submitted abstracts and awards recipients. New this year will be a session devoted to Outreach in Biophysics. We very much look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow and to joining with the other organisations in delivering Synergy for Science.

    Please contact the organisers, Olwyn Byron and Mads Gabrielsen, University of Glasgow, with any questions.
