New York City Integrative Structural Biology Symposium

October 9-11, 2024

hosted by ASRC and NYSBC

Integrative structural biology is a powerful approach to understand biological macromolecular systems. By combining computational methods with structural science disciplines, spatial and temporal models of macromolecular targets in their in-situ context can be determined. The focus of this workshop is to understand the challenges and opportunities of applying integrative structural biology techniques to one’s research. The fields of light microscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, NMR, cryo-EM, and computational methods will be highlighted. The topics will cover the best practices and current research toward building structural models across different resolution scales. This workshop will also offer hands-on demos to explore what instrumentation is available to be integrated to address conformational changes, flexibility, and dynamics in macromolecular and cellular structures.

This symposium is limited to 100 attendees.

Applicants will be contacted on a rolling basis. Accepted applications will be contingent on registration.

We will reach out to abstract applicants by the beginning of August. For further inquiries please email the organizers at nyc-isb@nysbc.org.

We are planning on a 100-attendee event to facilitate intimate scientific discussions, but keep the symposium large enough to reach a wide variety of fields.

Applicants will be given instructions to register for the event. Acceptance is contingent on full payment and filling in the registration form on the registration site.

During checkout add Workshop Wednesday to your cart. We will send a separate sign-up to rank the offered workshops. Assignments will be released in September.

Yes. We are planning for at least half the attendees to participate in our poster session.

Poster board information –

    • Landscape: 36” x 24”
    • Portrait: 36” x 28”

Yes. This will be an in-person on-site event.

This event is planned to be in person. The symposium will not be recording the talks or poster sessions to promote open discussion.
