Industrial Biostructures America conference 2026
The Industrial Biostructures America conference will take place on May 11 & 12, 2026 at the Sanofi Cambridge Crossing site in Cambridge MA. The conference was launched in 2018 to bring the industry-based structural biology community together for two days of presentations and networking. This is a great place for industrial structural biologists, as well as those who are industry-curious. The conference will feature keynote presentations by: * Dr. Sandra Gabelli - Global Head of Protein and Structural Chemistry at Merck * Dr. Derek Lowe - Director in Chemical Biology at Novartis and author of widely-read science and industry web site "In the Pipeline" Conference information is available at https://industrialbiostructuresamerica.orghttps://industrialbiostructuresamerica.org/ along with guidelines for submitting abstracts for scientific presentations during the conference. Scientific sessions will cover the following topics: * Membrane Proteins, chaired by Dr. Elena Levin (UCB) * Conformational dynamics (allostery), chaired by Dr. Rui Xu (J&J) * Fragments and Proximity, chaired by Dr. Kerren Swinger (Takeda) * Tools of the Trade and Cryo-EM, chaired by Dr. Eva Cunha (Proteros) * Biologics, chaired by Dr. Joe Batchelor (Sanofi) * AI/ML in Drug Discovery and the Future of Structural Biology, chaired by Dr. Jill Chrencik (Merck) We also plan on a panel discussion on the topic of "Frontiers in Structural Biology for Drug Discovery and Development" The abstract deadline is April 1. Space is limited so if you're interested, please register soon. Contact us at [email protected]mailto:[email protected] for additional information
We would like to share some updates regarding the upcoming Industrial Biostructures America meeting, to be held in Cambridge MA on May 11-12, 2026: * We are pleased to announce two keynote speakers: Sandra Gabelli and Derek Lowe (more information at https://www.industrialbiostructuresamerica.org/keynote-speakers/) * On Monday evening, there will be a meeting-wide networking/social event. Details to come. * On Tuesday, there will be a panel discussion on the future of (industrial) structural biology, including Derek Lowe (Novartis), Jay Chodaparambil (Sanofi), Melanie Adams-Cioaba (ThermoFisher), Alisia Fadini (Columbia), and Robin Röhm (Apheris). We are planning for a vibrant discussion with plenty of audience participation. * On Tuesday evening, we are working to arrange another networking/social event, with details to come * The deadline for abstract submission has been extended to April 10. There are a few speaking slots available, and this would be a great opportunity to share your scientific accomplishments with this community.
