Biophysics Week in Lithuania
3/23/2026 - 3/27/26 Vilnius University Vilnius, Lithuania
The Lithuanian Biophysical continues its tradition of organizing public outreach events across universities and research institutions in Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania’s largest cities. This year’s program features a record number of public lectures, laboratory tours and practical activities highlighting diverse subfields of biophysics thriving in Lithuania. While the primary audience is high-school and undergraduate students, the events are open to everyone interested in science. In collaboration with STEAM centres across the country, high-school students will also have the opportunity to perform a practical activity exploring the interplay between photosynthesis and respiration in plants.

Synergizing Biophysics Education and Research: Enhancing Mentorship for Africa’s Scientific Future
3/23/2026 - 3/27/2026 Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (Uganda) & Kyambogo University, MCU Boardroom (Uganda) Kakamega, Kenya
Biophysics holds immense potential to address Africa’s pressing challenges in health, agriculture, energy, and technology. The growth of Biophysics on the continent has been limited by gaps in education, research infrastructure, and mentorship. “Synergizing Biophysics Education and Research: Enhancing Mentorship for Africa’s Scientific Future” emphasizes the integration of robust academic training with cutting-edge research, supported by strong mentorship networks. By fostering collaboration between educators, researchers, and mentors, this initiative seeks to inspire the next generation of African biophysicists, strengthen research capacity, and ensure that biophysics knowledge is effectively applied to local and global needs. Ultimately, it aims to build a sustainable ecosystem where education, research, and mentorship work hand in hand to advance Africa’s scientific and technological future.
The Poison is in the Dose: An Investigation into Protein Structure and Activity Relationships
3/23/2026 Augsburg University, Hagfors Center 108 Minnesota, United States
Society of Physics Seminar by Murphi Williams (University of Minnesota Chemistry): Proteins are more than meat and beans, they’re the molecular machines that keep us alive through performing a variety of functions. This talk will encompass 3 vignettes of biophysical protein research. First, we’ll dive into how proteins exhibit dynamic motions that allow them to perform specific reactions which can be studied through computational simulations and experimental techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy. The second story will transition to thinking of proteins as molecular sensors to allow bacteria to respond to their environment whose function can switch completely through the change of only a few atoms. Finally, I’ll discuss how my current research project utilizes proteins with the hemeprosthetic group to selectively unmask cyanide to enable its usage as a potential antibiotic.
