The Sociedad de Biofísica de España is pleased to announce the
„International Congress of the Spanish Biophysical Society – SBE
Barcelona 2012” that will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from July 3rd
to 6th, 2012 (see www.sbe-bcn2012.org).
This XII SBE Congress has been conceived as a meeting point for the
Spanish biophysics community and its peers from Europe and beyond,
stimulating new interactions and providing a first-class forum for the
youngest researchers. The international vocation of the congress
translates into a scientific program that brings together key players in
each of ten broad areas, organized in the following symposia, each
including three invited speakers and four communications to be selected
from submitted abstracts:
Symposium I. Protein biophysics I: structure and dynamics
Symposium II. Membrane biophysics I
Symposium III. Biophysics of nucleic acids
Symposium IV. Bioenergetics, enzyme catalysis
Symposium V. Analysis of macromolecular assemblies
Symposium VI. Cell and tissue biophysics
Symposium VII. Protein biophysics II: drug design, synchrotron radiation
Symposium VIII. Membrane biophysics II: receptors, channels, transporters
Symposium IX. Single-molecule biophysics
Symposium X. Biophysical approaches to systems biology
