CanBIC-9 was a terrific success now everything is returning to a more normal life after the Pandemic. Thanks to so many wonderful participants, Andrea Hartwig as the Plenary Speaker, exciting science, a beautiful location and very hard-working teams of students, volunteers, and Stockey Centre staff. We are sure that CanBIC-10 will be as successful and invite you to join us. We invite you to check out the photos from the past 9 CanBICs - see "News" for urls. And, many of the CanBIC-9 talks will be published as a special, CanBIC issue of J Inorganic Biochemistry as were the talks from CanBIC 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. There will be over 96 invited talks, a poster session with poster up for the full 3 days, and an oral session for graduates and PDFs, and of course, the Plenary Lecture. The Welcome Reception will be on the Wednesday evening. We are pleased to report that the Island Queen boat is back in service and we are booked for a 2 hour cruise on Thursday afternoon, June 3rd. Please see the "Events" tab for scheduling details that we know at this point in time. Please note that the cheapest rates are in January, 2027 for all, and you need to register to be able to submit your abstract. Deadlines are firm. I am delighted to welcome you to CanBIC, a small and specialised conference devoted to the biological chemistry of metals to be held in this wonderful setting. The development of ever more powerful techniques both experimental and theoretical has allowed research to delve in detail into this remarkable chemistry. Where science has had a few hundred years to refine chemical mechanisms, Nature has had a billion years and the results are staggering in their exquisite refinement, from the delicate tuning that allows iron to bind oxygen reversibly to the miraculous operation of the nervous system, there is much to study and then mimic synthetically. There is a downside in the toxic effects of almost all metals at some concentration. These effects too need detailed and careful study. The symposia offered over the three days in Parry Sound bring together scientists from across the world who directly research these areas - the location in the beautifully rugged Parry Sound, Ontario will foster discussion and collaborations. We expect over 150 participants, including many from outside North America. We welcome students and pdfs and the Registration rates are significantly reduced from you. There are several hotels in Parry Sound of all rates - and all very close to the Stockey Centre - and even camping, as well as cottages, and you can easily share rooms with the typical North American layout of two large beds in most rooms. We are hoping that our musicians will be able to continue their wonderful tradition of Music at CanBIC-10. Come and celebrate Bioinorganic Chemistry in the rugged beauty of Georgian Bay. Plan to stay a few extra days to explore the coast and the Provincial Parks - especially the fantastic Algonquin Park for canoeing and Killbear and Killarney Provincial Parks for exploring the outstanding scenery and hikes. (Check out both online). As a special note: !Please consider staying and visiting these remarkable parks, it is now possible to take a bus to YYZ so come on the CanBIC Coach with your sleeping bags and tents and visit Killbear Park better yes, Killarney, it is astonishing. - camping (tents) is possible in all - just ask Martin for advice - even loan of a tent. https://www.ontarioparks.ca/park/killarney We are excited to offer a contributed oral symposium (#9) for students and PDFs again in 2027 - from the submitted abstracts, selected students and post docs will be invited to contribute an oral presentation in place of a poster. The key to an invitation is to plan ahead and submit your abstract for consideration early in 2027 (and well before the deadline!). You do need to register before you can submit your abstract. Welcome to CanBIC-10 and Parry Sound, as you start your summer feast of BioInorganic Chemistry! Visitors to canbic.ca come from all round the world - and the system updates your country flag. CanBIC-10 Registration and Abstract Submission all start in January, 2027. Lowest rates are in January, 2027. Deadlines are firm. By all means contact me at "canbic@uwo.ca" with any questions, we are here to assist you. Please note that the CanBIC administration may change any of the dates and/or the scheduled activities at any time as a result of financial requirements, scheduling issues with outside contractors, emergencies, government regulations or any other reasonable cause, without notice.
