Biophysics meetings

This is an aggregated list of some of the upcoming Biophysics Meetings we are aware of. Please get in touch if you would like to add your meeting. We are happy to receive enquires from BBS members about potential sponsorship of future Biophysics meetings. Please contact the BBS Meetings Secretary

2026 BBS Biennial Meeting

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.

Astbury Conversations: Designing Biology, Leeds 20-21st April 2026

The Astbury Conversation 2026 is where science meets innovation, bringing together those with a passion for structural and chemical biology, biophysics, and biotechnology.

Faraday Discussions: Structural and Functional Asymmetry of Plasma Membranes, RSC, Burlington House, London, 23-25 April 2025

Fri, Jan 10,2025 The Faraday Discussions are unique international discussion meetings that address current and emerging topics at the forefront of the physical sciences.This meeting will focus on recent developments in experimental and computational chemistry, physics and life sciences that have enabled a greater quantitative understanding of lipid asymmetry and its coupling to protein function. This Discussion will explore the various facets of membrane asymmetry, bringing together experts in membrane physical chemistry, membrane biophysics, and membrane physiology.
