The Industrial Biostructures America conference will take place on May 5 & 6, 2025 at the MassBioHub in Cambridge MA. The conference was launched in 2018 to bring the industry-based structural biology community together for two days of presentations and networking. This is a great place for industrial structural biologists, as well as those who are industry-curious. The conference will feature keynote presentations by:

• Dr. Stephen K. Burley, Director RCSB Protein Data Bank and Rutgers University Professor

• Dr. James Fraser, Professor and Chair Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutics Sciences at UCSF

• Dr. Stephen Harrison, Professor Harvard Medical School/Investigator Howard Hughes Medical Institute

• Dr. Mark Murcko, Founding CSO/Board Member at Dewpoint Therapeutics and Relay Therapeutics

Conference information is available at https://industrialbiostructuresamerica.org along with guidelines for submitting abstracts for scientific presentations during the conference. Scientific sessions will cover the following topics:

• Structural Biology of Targeted Protein Degradation: Glues, TCs & DUBs

• Developing Fragments to Drugs: Challenges & Victories

• Molecular Dynamics and Allostery – Bridging Experimental and Computational Drug Discovery

• Membrane Protein Structure Guided Design

• CryoEM Synergies with Molecular Modeling and Computational Models

• Biologics (Antibody Design & ADCs)

• AI/ML in Structural Biology and Drug Discovery

• Hot Topics (SBDD, Kinases, RNA)

The abstract deadline is April 1. Space is limited so if you're interested, please register soon.
