Dutch Biophysics conference 2018
- Published Date10 October 2018
Dutch Biophysics 2018, on October 1st and 2nd in the Koningshof Veldhoven, was a great success. This conference is co-organized by NWO Domain Science (ENW), the Netherlands Society for Microscopy, the Dutch Society of Cell Biology and the Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (BIOPM).
More participants then previous years participated in the conference and discussing their latest research, in plenary lectures and parallel sessions.
BIOPM sponsored two key prizes: the poster prize and the annual thesis prize.
The Thesis Prize for the best PhD thesis in Biophysics or Biomedical Engineering 2018 was awarded to Yusaku.Hontani for his thesis “Photoreaction dynamics of functional photoreceptor proteins”. He defended his thesis successfully at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on 4 July 2018.

DutchBiophysics 2018 Veldhoven, 1 - 2 October
CALL FOR REGISTRATION
You are cordially invited to DutchBiophysics 2018, the annual Dutch Meeting on Molecular and Cellular Biophysics, to be held on 1 and 2 October at the NH Koningshof in Veldhoven.
The Dutch Meeting on Molecular and Cellular Biophysics is organised and sponsored by NWO Domain Science (ENW), in co-operation with the Netherlands Society for Microscopy, the Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Technology, and the Dutch Society of Cell Biology.
Abstract submission and selection
Participants can submit an abstract for an oral or a poster presentation. The deadlines for the submission of abstracts are:
- for an oral presentation: 29 May 2018, 12.00 hrs (noon);
- for a poster presentation: 30 August 2018, 12.00 hrs (noon).
- for the Thesis award of the Netherlands' Society for Biophysics and Biomedical
Engineering: 1 July, 2018 (more information on Thesis award, website BIOPM)
Because of the limited number of time slots for oral presentations, the Programme Committee will make a selection from the abstracts submitted for oral presentations.
The result of the selection will be notified to the authors by the end of July. Abstracts submitted but not selected for oral presentation will be transferred as a poster presentation.
You can submit an abstract via this link. This link and more information can also be found on the website.
Poster Prize
The Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Technology will sponsor a poster prize for the three best posters, to be selected during the meeting.
Registration
The registration deadline is 30 August 2018, 12:00 hrs (noon).
Participation, including hotel accommodation from 1 to 2 October 2018, is free of charge. However, if you fail to show up and you do not cancel your reservation in advance by contacting the conference organisers, you will be charged for the costs (€300 for two-day participation).
