The recently created Association of Resources for Biophysical Research 
in Europe 
<https://www.structuralbiology.eu/networks/association-resources-biophysical-research-europe>(*ARBRE*/) 
is an open pan-European network which aims to bring together academic 
and industrial research infrastructures, core facilities and resource 
labs that provide access to biophysical instrumentation and 
expertise for the molecular-scale characterization of biological systems./

The network aims to generate a community focused on broadening expertise 
and inspiring novel methodological development. It addresses all 
scientists and technicians who utilize biophysical instrumentation to 
characterize the intrinsic properties of biological macromolecules and 
the assemblies in which they are involved.

The scope of technologies includes (but is not limited to):

•hydrodynamic approaches: analytical ultracentrifugation, 
light scattering (dynamic and static), SAXS-SANS, thermophoresis, 
electrophoretic mobility, viscometry, ...

•spectroscopies: fluorescence, infrared, circular dichroism, 
Raman, electron spin resonance,...

•real-time biosensing based on: surface plasmon resonance, 
interferometry (DPI, BLI, BSI), QCM, ...

•microcalorimetry, differential scanning fluorimetry,...

•atomic force microscopy, single-molecule approaches, …

•structural mass spectroscopy, NMR, …
