REGISTRATION CLOSING SOON!!

Please could I remind the community of the academic symposium being hosted by the Astbury Centre at the University of Leeds as part of “The Astbury Conversation” this April.

The list of confirmed speakers (below) is fantastic, and the symposium will also give researchers at all stages a chance to present data alongside leaders in the field.

Register at

Where you can also submit your abstract for poster or possible talk.

We now have confirmation that the British Biophysical Society is sponsoring student bursaries for talks selected from abstract submissions.

Students do not need to be BBS members to be eligible receive the prize bursary, and the prize will in fact include a years membership.

BBS members can of course apply for travel bursaries as usual.

I would also appreciate it if you could please forward this Email to any colleagues as appropriate.

Book your place - Understanding Complex Macromolecular Systems from Sparse Data

 

Symposium: Monday 11 April 2pm - Tuesday 12 April 3pm 2016

 

Every two years the Astbury Conversation Symposium will enable the very best researchers at all career stages to discuss recent innovations, new techniques and technologies in the field of structural molecular biology.

To provide a focal point, and yet to allow for interaction across all areas of structural molecular biology, the symposium will be loosely focused around the work of the Astbury Conversationalist, and the topic of their plenary talk. In 2016, the Conversationalist will be Professor Michael Levitt FRS, who will discuss “Birth and future of multiscale modelling of macromolecules” thus the title of the 2016 Symposium will be “Understanding Complex Macromolecular Systems from Sparse Data”.

The Astbury Conversation will become a biennial event for the field of structural molecular biology, promoting discussions of the latest innovations in the field, including the highlight plenary lecture, along with a public display of the emerging integrated technologies available for structural molecular biology research in the 21st century.

The Symposium will include:

Talks

Presentations (invited + selected from submitted abstracts)

Lunch and posters

Confirmed speakers:

• David Barford FRS (LMB, Cambridge)

• Martin Blackledge (IBS, Grenoble)

• Tim Clausen (IMP, Vienna)

• Sarah Harris (Astbury Centre, Leeds)

• Lewis E. Kay FRS (Toronto)

• Sheena Radford FRS, (Astbury Centre, Leeds)

• Helen Saibil FRS (Birkbeck)

• David Stuart FRS (Oxford)

Additional talks will be selected from abstracts submitted online, along with poster sessions. 

The symposium will be followed by a public engagement event and a public lecture by Professor Michael Levitt.
