Launch of the Vietnam Association of Physiology

DNVN - Vietnam Biophysics Association, with Associate Professor Dr. Tran Quang Huy - Phenikaa University, as interim President, is headquartered at the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE, Gia Lai).

On September 17, within the framework of the third international conference on nano-life sciences : nanobiology, biophysics, and computation (NanoBioCoM2025) held at the ICISE Center (Gia Lai), the Vietnamese scientific community officially launched the Vietnam Biophysics Association.

The scientific community congratulates the launch of the Vietnam Society of Biophysics.

The association is chaired by Associate Professor Dr. Tran Quang Huy - Phenikaa University, and is headquartered at ICISE Center. As soon as it was established, the association was accepted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB).

This is considered a big step forward in building an interdisciplinary physics-biology scientific community in Vietnam, affirming the position of our country's science on the global knowledge map.

The third international conference on nano-life sciences (NanoBioCoM2025) took place from September 17-19, co-organized by the Vietnam and China Science Association ICISE in collaboration with the Nano Life Sciences Institute (WPI-NanoLSI, Kanazawa University - Japan).

More than 100 delegates from 13 countries attended, including professors, prestigious scientists, young researchers and postgraduates. Many of the world's leading names participated, such as Professor Curtis Callan (Princeton University, USA), Professor Anthony Watts (Oxford University, UK - President of IUPAB), Professor Takeharu Nagai (Osaka University, Japan - President of the Japanese Biophysics Society), Professor Nam Trung Nguyen (Griffith University, Australia), and many experts from France, Japan, the US and Vietnam.

Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation between ICISE Center and Nano Life Science Research Institute.

NanoBioCoM2025 continues the success of the previous two editions, focusing on fundamental and applied research in nanobiology, biophysics and computation. The invited papers are designed to combine teaching and the latest research of the speakers themselves. In addition, there are nearly 100 posters and short reports from many domestic scientific associations and the nano-life science community.

According to scientists, biophysics – an interdisciplinary field that combines physics and biology, is increasingly proving its important role in decoding the operating mechanisms of biological systems.

Meanwhile, nano-biology opens up applications in nanomedicine, biosensors, advanced microscopy techniques; while computing and artificial intelligence support simulation, analysis and prediction at the molecular level. The conference becomes a place of convergence, shaping research trends and international cooperation in the new era.

Ms. Vo Cao Thi Mong Hoai - Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology (KH&CN) of Gia Lai province, assessed that the conference has special significance as it is associated with the establishment of the Vietnam Biophysics Association. This is an important step in building an interdisciplinary scientific community in Vietnam, while opening up many opportunities for deep and close cooperation with international friends.

Ms. Vo Cao Thi Mong Hoai - Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology of Gia Lai province, gave a welcome speech.

Ms. Hoai affirmed that Gia Lai province always identifies science and education as the core foundation for innovation and sustainable development. The locality is committed to continuing to accompany ICISE, developing research centers, transferring and applying advanced technology, and taking advantage of intellectual resources from domestic and foreign scientists.

Since 2013, ICISE has welcomed more than 16,500 scientists from over 60 countries and territories, including 18 Nobel Prize winners and hundreds of world-leading scientists in many fields.

This is a vivid demonstration of the strategic vision and dedication of Professor Tran Thanh Van and the Rencontres du Vietnam in creating an open, creative and sustainable international academic environment in Vietnam as well as the Southeast Asian region.
