This website is a virtual meeting place and hub for all users of computing for structural biology research in Australia. This is a collective community effort. It can be what we make it!

ASBC Community EMCR Symposium
To wrap up the year, Australian EMCR researchers in structural biology computing will share their work at a special edition of the ASBC community meeting on 4th Nov 2026.
Removing barriers: academia and industry collaborate to open commercial access to protein design software
A collaborative effort from academia and industry has made a popular protein design software package free for commercial use. All previously restricted components have now been replaced, removing a significant barrier for biotechnology companies wanting to use the pipeline.
Community talk series for 2026
Starting this year, speakers from across the structural biology community will be invited to present their work at the regular community meetings. The current plan is for there to be five of these meetings every year.
Next meeting is on November 4th
