EPS Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics – Spring 2014
It is a great pleasure to announce that the spring 2014 EPS Emmy Noether Distinction for Women in Physics goes to Dr. Rumiana Dimova from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany.
The distinction was awarded to Rumiana Dimova for her distinguished contributions to membrane biophysics, in particular for the important breakthroughs she has made in recent years in two major fields, namely electric field effects on membranes and aqueous microcompartments within vesicles, pioneering the use of new experimental…
Lipid-Protein Interactions in Membranes
The “Lipid-Protein Interactions in Membranes: Implications for Health and Disease” thematic meeting of the Biophysical Society will be held at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology in Hyderabad, India, on 1-5 November this year.
The meeting – which will take place against the backdrop of recent advances in membrane protein crystallography – aims to bring together leading experts in membrane research in order to develop new models for the function of membrane proteins and design better therapeutic strategies to combat diseases which relate to the malfunctioning…
Weak Protein-Ligand Interactions
The “Weak Protein-Ligand Interactions: New Horizons in Biophysics and Cell Biology” thematic meeting of the Biophysical Society will be held in Beijing, China, on 14-18 October this year.
Topics under discussion at the event will include: atomic force microscopy; chemical crosslinking; co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down; computational docking; in vivo fluorescence resonance energy transfer; isothermal calorimetry titration; magnetic tweezers; mass spectroscopy NMR spectroscopy; single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy…
