Biophysical Society of Serbia
Biophysical Society
Biophysical Society of Serbia was founded in 1980 within the Association of biophysical societies of Yugoslavia. Until then, it acted as Yugoslav biophysical society, which was founded in 1970 at the initiative of Professor Aleksandar Milojević, director of the Institute of Physics at the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, who was later joined by Dr. Blagoje Nešković from the Faculty of Medicine (President of the Society from 1974 to 1976). Since 1971 Yugoslav biophysical society was a member of International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics – IUPAB. The Society organized regular annual symposiums with international participation until 1990 and selection of papers from each of these meetings was published in Periodicum Biologorum journal. In 1996. in Belgrade, at the initiative of prof. Dušan Vučelić (Institute of General and Physical Chemistry, Belgrade), President of Biophysical Society of Serbia from 1986 to 1996, Yugoslav biophysical society was restituted after the separation of Croatia and Slovenia from the Association of biophysical societies of Yugoslavia. The Statute with the goals and objectives of the Society was adopted at that time, and Professor Bogdan Beleslin from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade was elected for President. Biophysical Society of Serbia continued to function within Yugoslav biophysical society. In 1998 21st symposium was held in Kotor (Montenegro), and in 2004 22nd International Biophysics Symposium, dedicated to academician Radoslav K. Andjus, one of the founders of Biophysics in Serbia, was held in Sveti Stefan (Montenegro). Selected papers from this meeting were published in a volume of the journal Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - »Biophysics from Molecules to Brain” (vol. 1048, 2005). At the meeting in Sveti Stefan, it was decided that in future, symposiums will be held through a regional initiative in Central and Southern Europe, and that Society will organize summer schools of biophysics every second year. In 2007, General Assembly of the society decided to change the name Yugoslav biophysical society to Biophysical Society of Serbia, which maintains a continuity of membership in the International Union. From its beginnings to the present scientific problems addressed within the Society referred to: neurobiophysics, nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance in biology, radiation biophysics, membrane biophysics, the state of water in biosystems, modeling in biocybernetics, plant physiology and dynamics of biomacromolecules. The Society also organizes a series of lectures in biophysics at the Kolarac Open University and issues the edition “Contemporary Biophysics”. Young researchers are awarded for best scientific publication in physiology and biophysics by the Society from the Fund “Academician Radoslav K. Andjus”.
