Announcing the 2026 BBS Biennial Meeting in Glasgow. Registration is NOW OPEN

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.

This meeting will also coincide with the joint BBS-DGfB (German Biophysical Society) one day meeting on Single Molecule Biophysics, which will start after the BBS biennial. Registration will cover access to both meetings, so this is a great opportunity to interact with academics from a range of backgrounds.

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