22nd International Conference on Oxygen Binding and Sensing Proteins (O2BiP)

We are pleased to invite you to the O2BiP 2025 conference, the 22nd edition of the series of meetings that have been organised on the topic of oxygen-binding and sensing proteins (O2BiP).


Following the spirit of previous O2BiP editions, the meeting aims to focus on recent advances on the relationships between structure, dynamics, and function of globins, and gas binding and sensing related heme-proteins, covering all levels of organisation from molecular to cellular to systemic and "in vivo" models. 

The meeting will bring together researchers at all stages of their careers actively working in the fields of biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, physiology, genetics, and evolutionary biology. Accordingly, our aim is to provide a forum for the presentation of recent advances and progresses in these fields, to bring together complementary research areas, and to catalyse existing and new scientific cooperation among teams with distinct expertise.
