Join the EMBL conference “Bringing Molecular Structure to Life: 50 Years of PDB” and celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Protein Data Bank (PDB) with us. With over 1 million unique users worldwide and more than 400 biomedical data resources, the PDB represents the achievements and milestones of the structural biology community.

The conference will be hosted virtually, running from 20th - 22nd October 2021. This timing coincides with the 50th anniversary of the original announcement of the PDB archive, when the structural biology community established the single worldwide archive for macromolecular structure data in 1971.

The archive is managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank consortium (wwPDB) which includes partner sites in Asia, Europe and America, making this a truly global effort. The 50th anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate the advances in structural biology and bioinformatics and peer into the future prospects for these fields.

The session topics for the conference include:

• Structural biology & applications in health and the environment
• RNA/DNA molecular machines
• The next 50 years: Genomics meets structural biology
• Latest advances
• The next 50 years: future perspectives (part 1)
• The next 50 years: future perspectives (part 2)
