Organised by IOP Biological Physics Group, IOP Liquids and Complex Fluids Group, IOP Molecular Physics Group and IOP Polymer Physics Group
Co-sponsored by the British Biophysical Society, European Biophysical Societies' Association (EBSA), European Physical Society (EPS), Royal Society of Chemistry (Soft Matter Journal) and Society of Biology



This conference will bring together the broad and diverse community interested in the physics of soft and biological matter, which includes liquids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, membranes, interfaces, cellular biophysics, and biological macromolecules.

The programme will span a number of key cross-cutting themes, including self-assembly and patterning, rheology, biomimetics, non-equilibrium phenomena, as well as molecular imaging, optical methods and spectroscopies, which are all relevant to the wide range of length- and time-scales present in these fascinating systems.
