14th International Conference on Biology and Synchrotron Radiation

The International Biology and Synchrotron Radiation (BSR) meetings are held every three years with the aim of presenting and discussing state of the art applications in relevant research fields. They have a long-standing record since the first meeting in Frascati, Italy in 1986. Subsequent meetings were held at sites at or near the most advanced light source facilities around the world, with the last BSR meeting taking place in Shanghai, China in 2019.

BSR is a unique forum to discuss the novel possibilities of synchrotrons and X-ray lasers and to promote their applications to challenging biological problems.

BLS1: Quality control of protein samples (Pasteur-PFBMI)

This basic-level training school is aimed at biologists, immunologists, pharmacologists, biochemists, structural biologists, etc., who want to improve their skills in quality control of protein samples, and more specifically on the analysis and optimization of their samples for a variety of downstream applications. The objective is to help warranting more productive, robust and reproducible research by applying quality control pipelines systematically to all purified protein samples.

The course will cover different biochemical and biophysical techniques such as chromatography, dynamic and static light scattering, viscometry, circular dichroism, mass spectrometry, and differential scanning fluorimetry. Hands on training will be provided on basic quality control of purified proteins, as well as on buffer and storage optimization. Trainees will be allowed to bring their own samples to use during the practical sessions. These sessions will be complemented with dry practical tutorials on purification strategies as well as on the choice of molecular-scale biophysical measurements to complement their studies.

N4M 2022 Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology

The “Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology” (N4M) symposia, are a recurring event organized in early spring in Camogli, a little fishermen village on the Italian coast, close to the port of Genova and the area of Portofino and Cinque Terre. N4M aims to bring together, in an informal context, great scientists from all over the world, exploiting nanoengineering tools to address fascinating mechanobiology problems. The ivory tower atmosphere of the location offers an ideal environment to discuss new ideas and meet companies offering cutting-edge technological tools in the field.

BSI 2021: 2nd Integrative Structural Biology meeting

The Integrative Structural Biology Meeting is organized by the Association Française de Cristallographie and the Société Française de Biophysique together. BSI 2021 is the second edition of the meeting. The goal is to strengthen the links between the structural biology and biophysical communities.

The meeting will take place at the Centrale Supelec new building, located on the Saclay plateau.
