On behalf of the international advisory committee and the local organizing committee, we invite you to join us at the 7th International Symposium on Diffraction Structural Biology (ISDSB2025).
The term “diffraction structural biology” was originally proposed by Prof. Noriyoshi Sakabe, in collaboration with the 169th Committee of the 69th Committee of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) University-Industry Cooperative Research Committee. It was coined to describe structural biology research primarily utilising diffraction techniques such as X-ray, neutron, electron, and others. Since the 1st International Symposium on Diffraction Structural Biology held in Tsukuba in 2003 (ISDSB2003), several ISDSB events have taken place in Tokyo (2007), Paris (2010), Nagoya (2013), Knoxville (2016) and Osaka (2019). The central theme of the series of ISDSB conferences is to bring structural biologists using diffraction, and the scientists using a wide range of other technologies, closer together as well as stimulate the interface of basic research and industrial applications.
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)
The IUCr Journals have endorsed our wish for a Collection of articles arising from the ISDSB 2025 be published in Acta Cryst D and Acta Cryst F, both from the lectures and the posters from those presenters that wish to do so. Guest Editors will be Kristina Djinovic Carugo, John R Helliwell and Atsushi Nakagawa.
