Biophysical Society Conference 2024: Molecular Biophysics of Membranes
June 2-7, 2024
Granlibakken Tahoe
Tahoe, CA
This meeting focuses on the topic of membrane biophysics and brings together scientists with a diverse range of perspectives, approaches, and disciplines including (but not limited to) physiology, engineering, cell biology, chemistry, and physics. The program seeks to bring together scientists working in different areas of membrane biology to catalyze cross-fertilization that spurs frontier research advances. The meeting invites scientists working in all areas of membrane biology, chemical biology, biomedical engineering and biophysics using a variety of computational and experimental approaches. In addition to invited speakers, each day will have 4-5 short talks selected from submitted abstracts. The attendees, particularly students and junior researchers, will be provided a positive and informal environment to stimulate the exchange of ideas and foster collaborations among them.
Late abstracts will be accepted until April 22, 2024. Registration is currently open.
Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry 2024
June 20-21, 2024
Merck
Rahway, NJ
Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) was founded by a group of organic chemists and others who support women in science as an opportunity to recognize, identify and retain women in the field of organic chemistry, regardless of gender or any other protected characteristic. This annual meeting welcomes women (students, post-docs, faculty, and professionals) and allies who work or plan to work in the field of organic chemistry, broadly defined, from all types of institutions (academic, industry, biotech, non-profit and government). The conference provides a unique opportunity for networking and is committed to improving upon the overall diversity within the organic chemistry community within a supportive environment. We seek to empower all marginalized individuals across all chemistry fields.
Registration is now open.
The 38th Protein Society Annual Symposium

Westin Bayshore Vancouver
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
The 38th Annual Symposium will take place on July 23 - 26, 2024 in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, in the Westin Bayshore Vancouver. The Program Planning Committee has assembled a program that spans the broad range of protein science, combining critical underpinnings of the field, the latest developments and a vision into the future with career development and technical workshops as well as ample networking opportunities. This year’s Symposium continues our commitment to open participation, with each session featuring contributed talks and speakers from across a broad range of topics.
Registration is now open—sign up early by June 10, 2024 and save money on registration costs. Late abstract deadline is June 10, 2024.
11th International Meeting on Halogen Chemistry
September 3-6, 2024
Johns Hopkins University
Baltimore, MD
The 11th International Meeting on Halogen Chemistry (HalChem XI) is a symposium that has connected experts in halogen chemistry and biochemistry since 2002. HalChem has since traveled throughout Europe and Asia, and now for the first time, will be held in the United States. The meeting is designed to foster conversations in all aspects of halogens by maintaining a diverse and informal atmosphere. The format will combine invited lectures and submitted presentations (oral and poster). Contributions from the scientific community working in any areas of halogen chemistry and biochemistry (such as synthetic, biological and theoretical aspects, spectroscopy, supramolecular chemistry, halogen bonding, hypervalent halogen compounds, medicinal chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, etc.) are welcome.
Registration is currently open and will close on July 17, 2024. Abstract submission are due by June 30, 2024.
