Biophysical Engineering of Artificial Active Transport Systems
3/28/2025 Imperial College London London, United Kingdom
Active transport processes, in which chemical processes are driven in reverse, are a defining feature of life. Cells manage to convert energy from chemical fuels to enable a range of sophisticated capabilities like storing energy by charging the membrane, pumping out harmful molecules, or controlling molecular distribution across cell compartments. Harnessing these capabilities in synthetic systems would revolutionise biotechnologies on the cellular scale, however we struggle to engineer de novo even simple cell mimics that can replicate active transport. To share ideas about how we study the design rules of active transport systems we have arranged this seminar. We will have two talks discussing both theoretical and experimental aspects of designing active transport systems.

Biopizza at Biofisika
3/28/2025 Instituto Biofisika Basque Country, Spain
On March 28, 4th-year ESO students from Jesús María Ikastextea and Jesuitinas Bilbao schools will visit the Institute of Biophysics of Bizkaia, a research center conducting cutting-edge studies in the field of biophysics. The students will participate in an activity designed by the center’s researchers, demonstrating the differences between biology, physics, and chemistry while explaining the interdisciplinary nature of biophysics. They will also have the opportunity to tour the facilities and see state-of-the-art equipment firsthand, such as the high-resolution Titan Krios G4 cryo-electron microscope, which enables the study of life at the molecular level.
Building Bridges in Computational Biophysics 3.5
3/28/2025 Virtual Event California, United States of America
BBCBv3.5 will bring together prior attendees of the Building Bridges in Computational Biophysics event, co-sponsored by SOBLA. We aim at consolidating communication channels, strengthening the professional network, and promoting collaborative biophysical research between biophysicists with an origin or affection for Ibero America. We will set up Zoom breakout rooms for networking where the language should not be a barrier. We target Spanish, Portuguese and English as languages for communication.
Join us if you want to develop community!

DNA STORY: A Play about Discovering the Structure of DNA
3/24/2025 - 3/28/2025 Streaming on YouTube
DNA STORY is a video recording of a play about the discovery of the structure of DNA by Watson&Crick and Franklin and Wilkins. Unlike many of the other performative versions of these events, DNA STORY is packed with science elements – including discussionsof how crystallography works, chemistry of the nucleic acid bases, the work of Hershey&Chase, how A and B form DNA interconvert, which data for the model came from Franklin, Wilkins, Jerry Donahue, and Erwin Chargaff – among much more. We’ve also done some assessment of whether audiences learn any science from the video (via a 20 question multiple choice quiz) and found that indeed they do.
Exploring Biophysics
3/28/2025 Sanyo-Onoda City University Yamaguchi, Japan
We are excited to announce a collaborative event between Sanyo-Onoda City University and University of Michigan, aiming to deepen students’ understanding of biophysics while fostering strong academic and cultural connections.
With the support of grant, we will create an engaging experience that attracts more students and enhances their interest in the field.
