Welcome!

Welcome to the website for the 30th Gibbs Conference on Biothermodynamics (Gibbs30). This year's conference will be held from September 24 through 27 at the Touch of Nature Conference Center in Carbondale, IL. The conference will focus on the energetics, dynamics, and interactions of biological macromolecules. As always, we expect a great meeting and welcome your active participation.

Participation in the Gibbs conference is is a two-step process. Individuals wishing to participate should fill out an application here. The application process involves submitting your contact information a preliminary abstract. Application preference is given to those who submit an abstract for a poster or oral presentation. Accepted applicants are then asked to register at a later time. This two-step process is necessary due to recent conference oversubscription.
