1st MOSBRI Scientific Conference – February 16-18, 2022

Molecular-scale biophysics is the study of the architecture, dynamics and interactions of the giant molecules of life (proteins, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, lipids) via measurements of their physical properties. It is fundamental to both our understanding of how living organisms work, and our ability to block or enhance the function of these molecules, notably for therapeutic purposes. Deciphering the complexity of the behavior of macromolecular assemblies requires a multi-faceted approach resorting to a large variety of distinct biophysical methods.

MOSBRI (Molecular-Scale Biophysics Research Infrastructure) is a geographically distributed, scientifically and technologically integrated consortium, combining the distinct instrumentation and expertise of 13 academic centers of excellence and 2 industrial partners from 11 different European countries, coordinated by the Institut Pasteur (Paris, France) and funded by the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission.

The first MOSBRI conference will show how such an integrated network can tackle an unusually wide variety of life science research questions. It will include presentations from MOSBRI partners and Scientific Advisory Board members, as well as from scientists that have already benefitted from the free of charge Trans-National Access (TNA) opportunities that MOSBRI provides.

The venue of the conference is currently planned in the Duclaux Amphitheatre of the Institut Pasteur (according to current health conditions and the directives of the PCA / PRPA committee). The conference will open on Wednesday 16th of February at 14:00 and end on Friday 18th of February at 12:30.

The deadline for registration is the 20th January 2022.
