The Sixth International Conference on Biophysics and Synchrotron Radiation will be held at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, from August 4-8, 1998. The conference will feature invited talks, extensive poster sessions, juried "Hot Topics" talks by students and postdocs, informal "Meet the Experts" sessions, and a tour of the APS. Scientific topics include macromolecular crystallography, with a particular emphasis on the applications of synchrotron-based crystallography to problems in cell biology; X-ray scattering from non crystalline systems such as solutions, fibers and membranes; spectroscopies ranging from the hard X-ray to the UV and IR regions of the spectrum; microscopies; medical imaging; apparatus and experimental techniques; and the impact of synchrotron radiation on biophysics (past, present and future). These fields have been expanding very briskly, in response both to earlier scientific successes and to the availability of the new, thirdgeneration synchrotron sources at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, the Advanced Photon Source itself, and the SPring 8 facility under construction in Japan. The expansion is also fueled by strong industrial interest, principally from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The conference is likely to attract up to 650 participants, ranging from beginning graduate students to Nobel Laureates.

第六届生物物理与同步辐射国际会议将于1998年8月4日至8日在阿贡国家实验室的先进光子源举行。 会议将邀请演讲，广泛的海报会议，由学生和博士后评审的“热门话题”演讲，非正式的“会见专家”会议，以及APS之旅。科学主题包括大分子晶体学，特别强调基于同步加速器的晶体学在细胞生物学问题中的应用;来自非晶体系统如溶液、纤维和膜的X射线散射;光谱学，从硬X射线到光谱的紫外和红外区域;显微镜;医学成像;仪器和实验技术;以及同步辐射对生物物理学的影响（过去、现在和未来）。这些领域一直在迅速扩大，这是对早期科学成就的回应，也是对法国格勒诺布尔欧洲同步辐射设施、先进光子源本身和日本正在建设的SPring 8设施的新的第三代同步辐射源的可用性的回应。这一扩张也受到强烈的工业兴趣的推动，主要来自制药和生物技术行业。会议可能会吸引多达650名与会者，从刚开始的研究生到诺贝尔奖获得者。
