An Afternoon of Biophysics at the UAB
3/25/2026 Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Facultat de Biociècies, Aula Josep Vendrell Barcelona, Spain
“An Afternoon of Biophysics at UAB” invites university students to an informal and engaging introduction to the world of biophysics, ledby young researchers working on biophysics-related projects at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Participants will hear firsthand from early-career scientists about how they investigate the structure, dynamics, and function of molecules to understand the complex machinery of life. Through open discussion and real research examples, students will gain insight into what it means to work at the interface of physics, biology, and chemistry in a modern research environment.
This relaxed session is designed to spark curiosity, encourage dialogue, and demonstrate how exciting, collaborative, and accessible acareer in biophysics can be.

Biophysical Engineering of Artificial Active Transport Systems
3/28/2025 Imperial College London London, United Kingdom
Active transport processes, in which chemical processes are driven in reverse, are a defining feature of life. Cells manage to convert energy from chemical fuels to enable a range of sophisticated capabilities like storing energy by charging the membrane, pumping out harmful molecules, or controlling molecular distribution across cell compartments. Harnessing these capabilities in synthetic systems would revolutionise biotechnologies on the cellular scale, however we struggle to engineer de novo even simple cell mimics that can replicate active transport. To share ideas about how we study the design rules of active transport systems we have arranged this seminar. We will have two talks discussing both theoretical and experimental aspects of designing active transport systems.
Join this event online on March 28 from 3:00PM UTC - 4:00 PM UTC: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YWJkZWIxMTUtMGI5Mi00ODAxLWE2NmYtMmQyMGNlZDI4YWEx%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%222b897507-ee8c-4575-830b-4f8267c3d307%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2228452685-837a-4960-9117-592439eb4fea%22%7d

Biophysics in Salamanca: Can Biophysics Explain Life?
3/24/2026 Instituto de Biología Funcional y Genómica (IBFG, CSIC/USAL) Salamanca, Spain
This event is designed as an engaging introduction to how biophysics helps us understand living systems.
We will begin with three short talks that introduce key concepts and techniques in modern biophysics: “Lights, Cameras, and Action” , “Macromolecules in 3D: The Design of Life”, and “Protein Dates: Biophysics to Measure Molecular Affinities”. After the talks, we will perform a live demonstration of optical tweezers.
We will conclude with a pizza party, providing an informal space to continue conversations.

Biophysics Seminar: Flow-Induced Transport of Lipid-Anchored Proteins on COS-7 Cells
3/25/2025 Augsburg University, Hagfors Center, Room 109 Minnesota, United States
The Augsburg Society of Physics Students will host a seminar by Dr. Sreeja Sasidharan.
TITLE: Flow-Induced Transport of Lipid-Anchored Proteins on COS-7 Cells
ABSTRACT: The cells lining blood vessels, known as endothelial cells, can detect changes in blood flow and respond with inflammation, especially when the flow is disrupted due to conditions like atherosclerosis. While it is well understood that these cells react to flow changes, the physical process behind this response is less explored. Since the outer membrane of these cells interacts directly with blood flow, it may play a key role in sensing these changes. In particular, certain proteins outside the cell that can move freely may shift their distribution in response to flowing blood.
Using live cell imaging with confocal microscopy, we studied how two specific proteins—Glypican-1 and GPI-anchored GFP—move along the cell membrane under fluid flow. Our results show that these proteins travel quickly enough to create concentration differences when exposed to shear stress similar to what blood vessels typically experience. Additionally, we observed that as shear stress increases, the movement of these proteins also increases in a linear fashion.
