International Symposium on Diffraction Structural Biology (ISDSB25)

The 7th edition of the symposium (ISDSB25) will be held from 5th – 7th May, 2025 at the European Photon and Neutron Science (EPN) Campus, Grenoble, France, and will be hosted by Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) between European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS).

This symposium builds on the legacy of previous ISDSB events initiated in 2003 by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and aims to bring together leading researchers in the field of structural biology.

Main session topics include:

• Studies of dynamic systems, 4D structural biology
• Electron and X-ray tomography, and correlative approaches
• Microcrystal Electron Diffraction of Proteins & small molecules
• Neutron Diffraction and Scattering for biological macromolecules
• From structure-based drug discovery to clinical trials
• Integrative approaches in Structural biology
• AI in structural biology, software and databases
• EPN research institutions and facilities

There will be Poster sessions and also a Commercial and Industrial Companies Exhibition as well as a Visit to local Facilities.

The historical concept of the ISDSB Symposia is to bring together researchers using interactions of X-rays, electrons and neutrons with matter in the study of structural biology. Emphasis is also placed on integrating complementary approaches, such as studies of biological ultrastructure using microscopies and spectroscopies, including NMR, computational approaches. The symposia strive to maintain a balance between the development of cutting-edge methods and their application across relevant length scales, from molecular to cellular. Additionally, they serve as a platform to foster collaboration and exchange between academic and industrial researchers.

Local Organization Committee:
Dr Florent Bernaudat (ESRF), Prof. Dr. Kristina Djinović Carugo (EMBL Grenoble), Dr. Frank Gabel (ILL), Dr. Andrew McCarthy (EMBL Grenoble), Dr. Antoine Royant (IBS), Dr. Montserrat Soler Lopez (ESRF)
