Help get the word out about what biophysics is and its significant scientific contributions by hosting an event during Biophysics Week.
Africa Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Biophysics Week
3/24/2025 - 3/28/2025 Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. School of Natural Sciences, SPD Building Room 314 (Kenya), and Gulu University (Uganda) Kenya and Uganda, Africa
The Biophysics week for the year 2025 is expected to hit a notch higher by attracting many participants from across Africa. This will be boosted by the many chapters established in Kenya and Africa under BPS. Other Chapters yet to be established are expected to join this celebration under BPS Kenya. This event will focus on strengthening Biophysical Societies in Africa BPS Chapters.
Day 1: Peer sensitization of Biophysics and the Biophysical Society
Day 2: Biophysics Laboratory Activities Day
3: Reporting of Laboratory Results. Day
4: Travel to Gulu University in Uganda
Day 5: Joint Kenya/MMUST/Gulu University Chapters Outreach Meeting
(i). Strengthening Biophysical Societies Chapters in the three chapters.
(ii). Moving Biophysics Research to another level through improved Techniques and adequate funding
Biophysics Week in Lithuania
3/24/2025 to 3/28/2025 Vilnius University Vilnius, Lithuania
Lithuanian Biophysical Society celebrates Biophysics Week! We kindly invite everyone to meet Lithuanian scientists from various fields of Biophysics, explore their research, and discover the questions they seek to answer.
We hope you will attend lectures, interact with the researchers, tour laboratories, and take part in hands-on experiments in the Life Sciences Centre and the Faculty of Physics of Vilnius University, the National Cancer Institute, National Center for Physical Sciences and Technology in Vilnius and the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas. We are excited about the cooperation with Vilnius University Methodical STEAM Education Centre which will allow us to offer biophysical laboratory activities for high school students in all Lithuania.

Biophysics Week in Ukraine: Experience Across the Borders
3/24/2025 - 3/27/2025 V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University Kharkiv, Ukraine
This event will focus on changing experiences, expertise and forecasts between Ukrainian biophysical graduates working at home and abroad, and serve multiple purposes:
i) provide a platform for graduates to share their professional journeys, research insights, and challenges within biophysics;
ii) gather ideas and recommendations from BPS and attendees on re-launching a Ukrainian Biophysical Society;
iii) explore strategies to make this new society visible, active, and impactful, fostering connections both nationally and globally.
Celebrating Biophysics Education and Research in Cameroon
3/24/2025 HISMIL UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE YAOUNDÉ Yaoundé, Cameroon
Within the framework of the celebration of the 10th annual biophysics week scheduled on 24th-28th March 2025, Biophysical Society Cameroon chapter shall be organizing a Mini-Symposium at HISMIL Yaoundé. This will be an opportunity to discuss biophysics as an interdisciplinary subject, biophysics education and research with undergraduate students, postgraduate students and faculty members in medical science and technology at HISMIL. This is in view for possible collaboration and networking
DIY Biophysics: Extracting the Electrical Signals From Our Body…and From Plants
3/24/2025 University of La Laguna Tenerife, Spain
In this event, Tim Marzullo from Backyard Brains will show us how our body uses electrical signals to function, by using simple equipment and our iPads or mobile phones. This activity is co-organized by the Institute of Biomedical Technologies, the Consejo Social de la ULL, Alumni ULL, Universidad Laboral LL, and the Facultad de Educación ULL.
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.

Um Olhar Raro
3/28/2025 Virtual Seminar and Roundtable Discussion (Porto University) Porto, Portugal
This year, in collaboration with ICBAS (Porto University), we sponsor the exhibition "Um Olhar Raro," which sheds light on the profound impact of genetic diseases on patients' lives. The exhibit also highlights how biophysical studies are unraveling disease mechanisms at a molecular level, providing insights for future disease-modifying therapies.
We will close the celebrations with an online seminar and round table discussion on March 28th (14:00) with the following program:
14h | Seminar: "From molecules to mice, from Zika virus to Disease X – developing a broad spectrum antiviral able to reach the brain and placenta", Prof. Miguel Castanho (GIMM) 14h40 | Roundtable: Challenges in Biophysics, with Sandra Ribeiro (i3S), Luís Gales (ICBAS, i3S), Claúdio Soares (ITQB-NOVA), Manuel Prieto (IST) and o Núcleo de Jovens Biofísicos. Link for seminar and roundtable discussion: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/92921916216
Celebrate Biophysics next week by visiting the exhibition, following the seminar, and participating in the roundtable discussion!
