3rd ICTP-SAIFR Symposium on Current Topics in Molecular Biophysics (CTMB3)

The Symposium on Current Topics in Molecular Biophysics aims to gather international experts and young researchers in the field to discuss recent advancements and challenges. Molecular Biophysics encompasses a wide range of topics, from structural biology to computational methods, offering insights into fundamental biological processes. This workshop serves as a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers from diverse backgrounds to discuss a range of topics, including, but not limited to, chemical kinetics, protein/RNA dynamics, dynamics of assemblies, and chromatin.

The workshop will span three days, featuring presentations by speakers and interactive sessions. In addition to the invited talks, there will be talks selected from abstracts, and there will be a poster session. As with the previous CTMB meetings, we aim to foster an informal atmosphere where participants of all levels are able to exchange and develop ideas together.

There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.
