14th International Conference on Biology and Synchrotron Radiation
Palaestra et Odeum, Lund, Sweden
11-14 June 2023
International Biology and Synchrotron Radiation (BSR) meetings are held every three years with the aim of presenting and discussing state of the art application in relevant research fields.
They have a long-standing record since the first meeting in Frascari, Italy in 1986. Subsequent meetings were held at sites or near the most advanced light source facilities around the world, with the last BSR meeting taking place in Shanghai, China in 2019.
BSR is a unique forum to discuss the novel possibilities of synchrotron and X-rays lasers and to promote their application to challenging biological problems.
MAX IV hosts
the BSR14
MAX IV, the pioneer in multi-bend achromat synchrotron technology, would like to invite the synchrotron and free electron laser (FEL) Life Science community to Lund to discuss the latest and hottest developments in the field at the 14th BSR.
By 2022, several other synchrotron facilities will also have upgraded their sources or have defined upgrade plans and we feel it would be opportune to discuss an highlight the latest development and the possibilities for biological experiments at the next generation of synchrotrons and FELS.
