For the third consecutive year, I2SysBio has collaborated in the BioPhyzza event. This event is part of the world-renowned Biophysics Week, organised annually by the Biophysics Society to promote the field of biophysics.

This initiative was part of ‘The Biophyzza Connection’, a series of events coordinated in several Spanish universities and research centres under the auspices of the Spanish Biophysics Society (SBE). Spain, after the United States, has been the country where the most events have been presented. The event took place in the Charles Darwin Room, on the Burjassot-Paterna Campus. The session included a presentation on the activities of the SBE by Javier Buceta (CSIC researcher at I2SysBio), where he also presented the discipline of biophysics to more than 130 students of biology and physics, among other disciplines. The event continued with a keynote lecture by Asia Fernández-Carvajal (professor at the Miguel Hernández University of Elx, UMH) entitled ‘De las sensaciones al dolor: respuestas fisiológicas y biofísica’. After the conference, there was a brief round table discussion moderated by Nuria Fuster (IFIC, a joint CSIC-UV centre), with the participation of Javier Buceta, María Jesús García-Murria (Biotecmed, UV), Ismael Mingarro (Dean of the Faculty of Biological Sciences) and Professor Asia Fernández. The event concluded with a ‘pizza party’ in the cafeteria, sponsored by I2SysBio, the Faculty of Biological Sciences, the Faculty of Physics, the Biotecmed Institute, IFIC, Domino's Pizza and Águila. Year after year, this event offers a unique opportunity for students and professionals to delve into the fascinating world of biophysics, gain valuable knowledge from leading experts and participate in enriching debates.
