ARBRE is a non profit charity founded on July 1^st 2021, whose statutes and internal bylaws were deposited and approved by the Prefecture de Lyon (France) in October 2021.

ARBRE aims to foster a large-scale pan-European clustering around molecular-scale biophysics, allowing to ally and synergize the power of spectroscopic, hydrodynamic, real-time microfluidic, thermodynamic and single-molecule approaches. In partnership with MOSBRI (https://www.mosbri.eu/), it is the optimal environment for the development of innovative integrative biophysical approaches, at the level of data acquisition, analysis and modelling, as well as for the design of unprecedented and ambitious combinations of methodologies, to decipher more efficiently crucial biological phenomena and to overcome significant biomedical challenges.

ARBRE will provide a platform for scientists to establish early contacts with instrument developers (at the level of concept or prototype), allowing to set-up win-win partnerships that will allow to define and develop together future instrumentation that genuinely meets the needs of the broad biomedical and life sciences communities.

This symposium is the first one of a series of activities, such as Conferences, Workshops and Training Schools, which will favour the exchanges of good practices and continue the success of the COST Action "Between Atom and Cell: Integrating Molecular Biophysics Approaches for Biology and Healthcare (MoBiEU – molecular biophysics in Europe)".

This symposium is under the patronage of:
