The University of Salamanca is delighted to host the second Advanced International Course in Biophysics and Structural Biology in the summer of 2026, targeting graduate and advanced undergraduate students worldwide. Taught in English by renowned international scientists, the course aims to become an annual hub for cutting-edge research discussions. Morning sessions will feature public seminars, while intensive practical workshops in the afternoons will be limited to course participants. The course will be taught to 25 students, with an emphasis on applicants from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.

This initiative aims to highlight the university’s role in biophysics and foster future strategic collaborative projects and faculty hires. It will bring together experts in the fields of cryo-EM, single molecule studies and super resolution microscopy, fostering the exchange of ideas and discussion on the latest advancements in biophysics and structural biology. Attending this congress will not only provide the opportunity to learn about the most recent research but also facilitate networking among participants.
