Advancing the Understanding of Life
Dr. Nei-Li Chan
President of Biophysical Society of R.O.C.
Dear Members and Friends of the Biophysical Society of R.O.C. (Taiwan),
On behalf of the Society, I warmly welcome you to the upcoming 29th Biophysics Conference, which will take place at the National Biotechnology Research Park (NBRP, 國家生技研究園區, https://nbrp.sinica.edu.tw/) in Taipei, Taiwan, from May 14th to 16th, 2025.
The NBRP is a premier hub for biotechnology research and innovation. Unlike traditional science parks in Taiwan that primarily focus on manufacturing, NBRP fosters a collaborative research ecosystem by integrating key institutions, including the Taiwan FDA, the National Laboratory Animal Center, and the Biomedical Translation Research Center of Academia Sinica. This state-of-the-art facility provides an ideal environment for scientific advancement and biotech commercialization. As you gather with fellow researchers and experts, we encourage you to explore NBRP’s thriving research community and uncover opportunities for collaboration in biotechnology and biomedical sciences.
This year’s symposium, in collaboration with the Korean Biophysical Society, features several exciting highlights:
-
World-Class Speakers: Renowned experts from Taiwan and around the world will share cutting-edge scientific insights.
-
Diverse Scientific Sessions: The program includes nine sessions, covering topics such as: Assembly of Macromolecular Complexes and Machineries, Natural Product Biosynthesis/Chemical Biology, Structural Biology and Protein Dynamics, Immunity and Diseases, Emerging Techniques and Modeling, Surface Structure and Dynamics in Bacteria, Protein Misfolding/LLPS, and more.
-
Expanding Frontiers in Biophysics: The conference provides an invaluable platform for exchanging ideas, fostering collaborations, and advancing breakthroughs in all aspects of biophysics.
We look forward to your participation and can’t wait to welcome you to Taipei in May 2025!
Best Regards,
Welcome Message
