Biophysics Workshop 2026 is a two-day scientific meeting organized by the Biophysics Laboratory of the Instituto de Ciencias Físicas (ICF), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), with support from the Biophysical Society. The workshop aims to bring together students, researchers, and academics interested in biophysics and related fields, providing an opportunity to exchange knowledge and promote scientific networking. The program will introduce participants to three analytical techniques commonly used in biophysical research: UV–Vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and microplate spectrophotometry. The event will combine keynote lectures, theoretical sessions, and hands-on workshops to provide both conceptual and practical training in these techniques.
