The Astbury Conversation is designed to give an insight into life in molecular detail - whether you are a researcher wanting to know about the latest developments, or you are simply interested in learning more about the hidden - but fascinating – world of macromolecules.
This event is inspired by the pioneering work at Leeds of the Braggs (Nobel prize 1913), and in the 1930s to 60s of Professor Bill Astbury, FRS, a field of research continued today in the Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology.
It is fitting that more than 100 years after the Braggs’ Nobel Prize winning breakthrough we celebrate discoveries in structural molecular biology both within the University and across the wider scientific community by hosting the Astbury Conversation as one of the highlights of the University calendar.
The programme includes;
Registrations for both the Academic Symposium and the Public Engagement Lecture and Event are now open.

The programme includes;
- An academic Symposium themed around “Allostery in Biology” to include prestigious talks, selected presentations and poster sessions
- Plenary Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate Professor Brian Kobilka of Stanford University,
- A Public Engagement Event themed around “Understanding More about the Secret Life of Molecules”, followed by a wine reception.
Registrations for both the Academic Symposium and the Public Engagement Lecture and Event are now open.
