Biophysical Approaches to the Development of Therapies for Infectious Disease

This Virtual Networking Event will provide a forum for the discussion of the development of infectious disease therapeutics based on biophysical analysis of microbial targets and the interaction of peptides, lipids, glycans and small molecules with these targets. Topics will also include unconventional approaches, including bacteriophages and nanotechnology.

This event is organized by Nejat Düzgüneş, who is a BPS member since 1973 and a Professor at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, CA, USA. His contributions may be found at:

The event will be held on October 14, 2020, from 8 am - 4 pm PDT
When is this in my time zone?

Biophysicists interested in this networking event are encouraged to submit a short abstract (100 words or so) to Nejat Düzgüneş at [email protected] by October 10, 2020
