The Digital Research Infrastructure for Integrative Molecular Biology (DRIIMB) inaugural Integrative Structural Biology Conference (2026) will bring together researchers from across the field to explore current advances and future directions. The programme will feature sessions on community and resource building through data and software, the successes and challenges of integrative biology, and the role of data-driven and physics-based models in advancing our understanding of biological systems. The conference will also include poster sessions with flash presentations and panel discussions on the future scope of DRIIMB and integrative biology.

Abstracts - 
We invite all participants to submit an abstract for oral and/or poster contributions. Abstracts can be submitted via a google form or via email. Please visit the conference website for detailed information. 

Conference Bursaries:

This 3-day Winter School is organised by the Semiconductor Photonics and Quantum Technologies Group at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Sheffield Quantum Centre (SQC) at the University of Sheffield.  
The School will consist of lectures by leading researchers, industry talks and poster sessions presented by the school attendees. The Programme is tailored for researchers at all career stages, from PhD students to senior academics and industry professionals.

The Winter School  will focus on generation, control and detection of quantum light; novel materials for (quantum) nanophotonics; strong light-matter interaction; spins and spin-photon interface in semiconductor quantum dots and solid state defects and other related topics.

• Student: £280

• Non-student: £350

Standard Rate (from 15th December 2026):

• Student: £330

• Non-student: £420
