Since its inaugural meeting in 1985 in Reims, France, the European Conference on Spectroscopy of Biological Molecules (ECSBM) has been held every two years in a different European country.

ECSBM is recognised as a leading international conference at which applications of biomolecular spectroscopy in fundamental scientific research, medical and clinical sciences, and the pharmaceutical industries are explored. The scope of the scientific topics covered has recently extended to applications in the fields of biomedical imaging, anticancer research, drug delivery and nano-biotechnology and the meeting in Dublin will consider the impact for food science and nutrition.

To date, conference attendance has drawn researchers not only from all countries of Europe, but also from North Africa, Israel and Middle Eastern countries, India, Japan and Australia, United States, Middle and South America, and we hope to continue this in Dublin.

Conference themes: Application of spectroscopic (including Raman, IR, UV-Vis, fluorescence, NMR, EPR) & imaging techniques to the study of biomolecules, cells, or tissues, Drug discovery, Medical spectroscopic imaging, Diagnosis of disease Imaging, Spectroscopy in Food and Nutrition, Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Proteins, Nucleic acids, Enzymes & membranes, Nanoparticles for biomolecular studies, Nano-biotechnology, Anticancer research, Electron and Energy Transfer in Biomolecules and Emerging Techniques.
