The Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting Biophysics of Membrane Reactions in the Brain will be held in Bucharest, Romania, May 11-14, 2026.
This highly interdisciplinary Thematic Meeting brings together basic science with cutting edge applications to study neurological disorders, brain disease, and cell signalling pathways implicated in drug addiction. The central theme of the meeting is the study of membrane reactions which are part of cellular signalling pathways implicated in brain physiology and disease. The key topics that we will address in the meeting include (i) the dynamic assembly and interactions of signalling complexes at membrane interfaces of the brain; (ii) transport of cargo within cells by motor proteins; (iii) transport of therapeutic cargo to cells; (iv) optogenetics and photo-pharmacology applications to study neurological disorders; (v) neuronal circuits and how these respond to environmental stress. (vi) fundamental aspects of membranes and membrane reactions, from the experimental and computational perspectives. (vii) cellular signalling pathways of membrane-bound receptor kinases and G-Protein Coupled Receptors.
