VII congress of biophysicists of Russia

Abstract

The problems and results of research in biophysics, which were devoted to the VII Congress of Biophysicists of Russia (Krasnodar, April 17-23, 2023, http://rusbiophysics.ru/db/conf.pl), are discussed. The results of fundamental and applied research in the field of molecular biophysics, cell biophysics, biophysics of complex multicomponent systems were presented at plenary, sectional and poster sessions. The structure and dynamics of biopolymers, the fundamental mechanisms underlying the impact of physicochemical factors on biological systems, membrane and transport processes were actively discussed. Much attention was paid to new experimental methods of biophysical research, methods of bioinformatics, computer and mathematical modeling as essential research tools at all levels of organization of living systems. Along with the fundamental problems of studying the biophysical mechanisms of regulation of processes at the molecular, subcellular and cellular levels, much attention was paid to applied research in the field of biotechnology and environmental monitoring. Works in the field of medical biophysics were especially widely represented. During the Congress, the National Council for Biophysics was formed.
