Single-molecule imaging and manipulation technologies have provided powerful methodologies for the examination of the molecular mechanisms and physical principles underlying many essential biological processes. These approaches provide unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of the highly dynamic biomolecular conformations, structural transitions, movements, interactions, and assembly into higher order functional complexes.

Hosted by the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI), National University of Singapore, this symposium provides a forum for the world-leading East Asian scientists to share recent advances in field of single-molecule biological sciences, discuss future applications of single-molecule tools in various areas of biology, and build rapport for a wider and closer community in this increasingly important region.

The EASMB Symposium is open to academics, post-doctoral fellows, graduates, undergraduates and researchers from the industry interested in the subject of single-molecule biophysics. Kindly register using the button below to attend the symposium.

There will be several time slots reserved for short talks. If you would like to present your research in this segment, please send us your abstracts after registering as an attendee. Those whose abstracts are shortlisted will be notified and invited to speak. Further details about abstract submission can be found in the confirmation email you will receive post-registration.

NOTE: If you are registering for the symposium from 18th Oct 2022 onwards, please email us after you have registered using the button below, so that we can send you the Zoom link.

The first East Asian Single Molecule Biophysics Symposium was held in 2018 in Okayama, Japan, and the second was held at Seoul National University, Seoul. The third meeting was planned to be held in person in Chengdu, China in 2020 and the fourth meeting was scheduled to be held in Singapore in 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the third meeting was postponed. As of 2022, the EASMB committee have decided that the third meeting will be hosted (virtually) by the Mechanobiology Institute, National University of Singapore.
