New Category 12 Biophysics for Sustainability.
The abstract category “Biophysics for Sustainability” will cover research showing how advances in biophysics and related disciplines contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This includes fundamental research and applied innovation and could cover, for example :
- work on photosynthetic efficiency and its optimization for sustainable agriculture
- structure-based design of enzymes for plastic degradation
- development of bio-inspired materials for renewable energy
- metabolic engineering for green chemistry
- synthetic biology and microbiology for energy production, depollution, carbon fixation
Members may sponsor up to two abstracts if one is in the Biophysics of Sustainability category.
