The 2nd IAS Symposium on Biological Cryo-EM Concludes with Resounding Success

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revolutionized structural biology by providing high-resolution insights into cellular machinery, enabling researchers to visualize macromolecules in their native states. This transformative technique continues to drive groundbreaking discoveries in the life sciences.

The 2nd IAS Symposium on Biological Cryo-EM at HKUST (June 9-12, 2025) united around 140 experts and attendees worldwide to explore cutting-edge research in single-particle analysis and cryo-ET. Distinguished speakers included Prof. Yifan CHENG (UCSF), Prof. Masahide KIKKAWA (University of Tokyo), Prof. Maofu LIAO (SUSTech), Prof. Yigong SHI (Tsinghua/Westlake University), Prof. Georgios SKINIOTIS (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital), Prof. Hongwei WANG (Tsinghua University), Prof. Peijun ZHANG (University of Oxford) and Prof. Hong ZHOU (UCLA).

The organisers were Prof. Shanyu DANG (HKUST), Prof. Wilson Chun-yu LAU, (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University) and Prof. Tao NI, (The University of Hong Kong).

Esteemed researchers presented their findings through focused presentations, engaged in substantive discussions, and participated in dedicated networking sessions. The event fostered collaboration and knowledge exchange, aiming to accelerate progress in the scientific community.

The Division of Life Science supported awards for students who shared their research achievement in the symposium. The poster session began with a 2-min oral presentation, and six posters were selected for 15-minute short talks, earning either the Best Poster Award or the Best Short Talk Award.

Co-sponsored by the Division of Life Science, HKUST, Croucher, Lo Kwee Seong Foundation, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Global and Communications Office, HKUST.
