Conferences

Founded in 1975, the Inorganic Biochemistry Discussion Group (IBDG) serves the UK community of inorganic biochemists/bioinorganic chemists, encouraging activities relating to the biological function of the inorganic elements. Last year was the group’s 50th anniversary.

In celebration of this, a symposium will be held at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. UEA has a long tradition in metalloprotein research and a long association with IBDG, through UEA's, Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry (CMSB), which was formed in the early 90's.

The meeting, which will be co-hosted by CMSB, will take place on 3rd/4th September 2026. It will provide a forum for showcasing both contemporary research and future directions in our field. The meeting will be supported by ELEMENTAL, a BBSRC-funded Engineering Biology Hub focused on bio-based strategies for recovering technology-important metals.

The scientific programme will consist of invited and abstract-selected oral presentations. Attendees who would like to present either a talk or a poster should click on the ‘Read More’ button next to their Attendee Category below and then on the ‘More info’ tab.

We look forward to welcoming you in Norwich.
