Australasian Structural Phylogenetics Meeting (ASPM2023)

About ASPM2023

Welcome to the inaugural Australasian Structural Phylogenetics Meeting (ASPM2023), sponsored by the Centre for Computational Evolution. This meeting will bring together researchers of all career stages, working at the intersection of structural biology and phylogenetics. This will be an opportunity to showcase the latest methodologies and discoveries made in the field.

What is Structural Phylogenetics?

Structural Phylogenetics is an emerging interdisciplinary field that merges principles from evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, and structural biology. It focuses on understanding the evolution of biomolecular structures and how they have shaped life on this planet over billions of years. This involves studying the molecular architecture of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules to uncover their evolutionary history, infer ancestral relationships, and gain insights into the molecular basis of biological functions.
