Physics of Life 2023, Harrogate UK

Physics of Life 2023, Harrogate UK We are planning a new large-scale conference Physics of Life 2023 representing the wide diversity of the UK biological physics community. Organised jointly by the Physics of Life Network (PoLNET3), IoP Biological Physics, the BBS, Physics of Living Matter and Physics meets Biology, this in-person meeting will project the excitement of science at the interface between physics and biology. In addition to keynote lectures, the conference will feature parallel sessions on a full breadth of topics, with many contributed talks, thereby ensuring a wide focus and inclusion of the most exciting science.

BBS Biennial Meeting 2022: from Molecular Machines to Materials

BBS Biennial Meeting 2022: from Molecular Machines to Materials BBS Biennial Meeting: from Molecular Machines to Materials, 29 June - 01 July 2022 This year, the BBS biennial meeting will be held in Ireland for the first time. Peter Crowley is organizing the meeting at NUI Galway. The main focus will be on proteins as machines, providing a basis for functional materials. One of the goals of this meeting is to increase the participation of Ireland-based researchers in the Biophysics domain, as well as to enhance international collaboration.
