Fellow structural biologists, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 4th biannual international C*onference* “BIOMEMBRANES 2018”, which will be held on October 1-5, 2018 at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Dolgoprudny, Moscow region, Russia. This is the first meeting within the International Conference Series “Virtual Human – Imaging Across Scales” co-organized by scientists from Russia, Germany, China, and USA. Our speakers will focus on cutting-edge problems of modern integrative structural biology of biomembranes and membrane proteins, theoretical biophysics of membrane systems and computer modelling. The conference will highlight the role of biomembranes in aging and age-related diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s) and cardiovascular diseases. The talks will be given by world-leading scientists from Russia, USA, Germany, France, the Netherlands, China, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland. Preliminary scientific program, as well as the up-to-date list of speakers please find here: https://biomembranes2018.ru/program/ In parallel, an international *School* “Mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases” will take place as a satellite event of the Conference on September 30 - October 5, 2018. The full information about the school will soon be available on our web-site https://biomembranes2018.ru/sa tellite-events. Early bird registration until 31.07, registration until 14.09.
