QBIC Interview
We are delighted to announce a new type of QBtopIC: a conversation with Prof. Odile Eisenstein (Université de Montpellier). She will reflect on "A Life of Chemistry and Beyond" and share her stories and insights on May 13th, 2026, at 15:00 CEST.
Odile Eisenstein is a pioneer in theoretical and organometallic chemistry, widely recognized for advancing computational approaches to understand molecular behavior and reactivity. In this interview, she will reflect on her scientific journey, the evolution of the field, and perspectives gained from a life both within and beyond research.
The interview will be conducted by Vera Krewald and Maren Podewitz. Registration is open now. You will receive a Zoom link approximately 24h before the event. We look forward to an engaging discussion bringing together the community across experimental and computational chemistry.
QBIC Society Awards
Winners of the 2023 and 2024 Awards of the Society
We are delighted to announce the winners of the QBIC Society Awards for the years 2023 and 2024.
The winner of the 2023 award is Dr. Anastassia Alexandrova (University of California, Los Angeles). The award recognizes the outstanding contributions of Dr. Alexandrova to investigating and understanding the role of electrostatics in enzymatic catalysis.
The winner of the 2024 award is Dr. Mariusz Radoń (Jagiellonian University, Krakow). The award recognizes the outstanding contributions of Dr. Radoń to the accurate prediction of energetics in transition metal complexes.
The award winners presented their research at the 7th international meeting of the Society, QBIC-VII in Berlin.
About Us
Who we are
The Quantum Bio·Inorganic Chemistry Society was founded in 2018 with the purpose of bringing together scientists from academia and industry who are working in the broad fields of theoretical and computational inorganic, bioinorganic, and biological chemistry. Our aim is to encourage, support, and promote all aspects of research and knowledge exchange in these areas of science.
Among the activities of the Society are the organization of regular international scientific meetings, the support of summer/winter schools targeted at young scientists, and the coordination of networking actions.
Joining
The Society plays a key role in connecting the international community of computational chemists that are active in method development or applications within the scope of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry. Application for membership is open to any individual from all over the world.
QBtopIC Series
The "QBIC Topics" is a new activity of the QBIC Society. In these monthly panel meetings, a discussion leader speaks with a number of invited experts on a topic that is of interest to the wider QBIC community. Each meeting starts with a general introduction of the topic by the discussion leader, followed by short statements by the invited experts and a general discussion between the panel members. The audience can participate with questions or comments.
