The Biophysical Society's Subgroups hold symposia that allow attendees to meet and interact within focused areas. The Saturday Subgroup programs are heavily attended and include exciting scientific symposia, awards presentations, student and postdoc talks, and business meetings, which are open to members of each Subgroup. Subgroup symposia will be held on the first day of the Annual Meeting, Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.

Saturday Subgroup Symposium programs will be available for viewing in October.

In 2026, the Subgroup symposia will be divided into the following sessions:

Morning Sessions (8:30 AM - 12:30 PM) Afternoon Sessions (1:30 PM - 5:30 PM)
Bioengineering Bioenergetics, Mitochondria & Metabolism
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Biological Fluorescence
