Submit your research abstracts for the upcoming Proteros-sponsored International Biostructure Association (IBA) Conference, taking place on May 5-6, 2025, at the MassBio Hub Conference Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This premier event, proudly supported by Proteros, is a prime opportunity to showcase your work and contribute to the collective advancement of structural biology and drug discovery. Present your latest findings, engage in meaningful discussions, and collaborate with leading experts in the field.



Beyond the presentations, this event provides a valuable opportunity to step out of the lab, connect with peers from academia and industry, and gain inspiration from cutting-edge research. The conference will feature in-depth discussions on key topics such as Protein Degradation, Membrane Proteins, Glues, TACs & DUBs, Fragment-Based Drug Discovery (FBDD), Biologics, and the transformative role of AI/ML in Structural Biology. Attendees will hear firsthand from keynote speakers like James Fraser, Stephen K. Burley, and Dr. Stephen Harrison, whose pioneering work continues to shape the future of structural biology and drug discovery.

Conference Highlights:

  • 25 Expert-Led Presentations on the latest research and industry applications.
  • Networking Opportunities with top researchers and industry professionals.
