3rd Ice Binding Proteins Conference

  • mockup

Welcome to the 3rd International Ice-Binding Proteins Conference


Ice-binding proteins (IBPs), a unifying name for antifreeze proteins, recrystallization inhibition proteins, and ice nucleating proteins, are found in organisms living in cold ecosystems where ice is present. Organisms from many branches of the tree of life use IBPs to embrace the consequences of freezing by several strategies such as preventing freezing or tolerating it. The conference will bring together the scientific community for discourse on the latest findings in scientific and technological aspects addressing IBPs. The conference is an opportunity to create research collaborations and share ideas between groups all over the world who have interests in different aspects of IBPs.

The program consists of plenary lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions, and an excursion.

The conference will be held in Rehovot, "the city of Science", Israel, on the pastoral campus of the R.H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment. The Faculty is part of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, ranked first among Israeli universities in international rankings.

The extensive gardens and modern lecture halls of the Rehovot campus provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for international visitors. We hope participants will enjoy both the conference and their visit to Israel.
