Biophysics Lectures

The 2023 Introduction to Biophysical Techniques lecture series will be held in person at the Max Perutz Lecture Theatre this year after several years of remote webinar events. The programme for the talks is shown below and can be downloaded as a pdf here.

The talks cover the many of the biophysical techniques that are available within the LMB and are aimed at graduate level researchers with no prior experience. They are strongly recommended for early years PhD students, but they are also invaluable to all researchers who want a basic overview of each technique with examples of how they have been applied to LMB projects. The talks start at 9.30am and are 60 mins including a Q & A at the end.

The talks are open to LMB, the Biomedical Campus and the wider Cambridge scientific community.  There is no need to register for the talks but if you do not work at the LMB then it would be useful if you could email us your name and affiliation in advance so that reception can give you access.  If you are interested in the talks but unable to attend, then you can view last year’s lectures which were held as zoom webinars on LMB YouTube here.
