About
The TR+ Conference: Static to Dynamics will bring together researchers exploring one of the central challenges in modern structural and molecular science: moving beyond static snapshots to reveal the dynamic processes that govern function of biomolecules.
The conference will highlight advances in time-resolved synchrotron techniques, including X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, serial crystallography, and multimodal approaches used to probe structural and functional dynamics across multiple length and timescales.
Scientific sessions will focus on the challenges and strategies of performing time-resolved experiments, including sample preparation and delivery, reaction triggering and synchronization, high-throughput data collection, and analysis of large dynamic datasets. Discussions will emphasize how these approaches bridge the gap between static structural information and mechanistic understanding.
The program will feature keynote lectures, scientific presentations, expert discussions, poster sessions, and opportunities to engage with beamline scientists and visit MAX IV facilities.
