Warszawska Szkoła Doktorska Nauk Ścisłych i Biomedycznych wraz z Narodowym Instytutem Onkologii im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie Państwowy Instytut Badawczy w Warszawie serdecznie zaprasza na Konferencję Studenckie Onko–Forum SOF 2026
Jubileuszowa V edycja Onko-Forum odbędzie się w dniach 23-24 maja 2026 roku w Warszawie, na terenie Narodowego Instytutu Onkologii im. Marii Skłodowskiej-Curie PIB w Warszawie.
Studenckie Onko-Forum (SOF) powraca z wyjątkową, jubileuszową – V edycją. Tegoroczne wydarzenie ma szczególny charakter: nie tylko podsumowuje pięć lat działalności inicjatywy, ale również inauguruje działalność Stowarzyszenia Onko-Forum – nowo powstałej ogólnopolskiej organizacji tworzonej przez studentów, doktorantów oraz młodych absolwentów kierunków medycznych i pokrewnych.
Jubileuszowa edycja SOF 2026 to kolejny etap rozwoju – od studenckiego projektu do ogólnopolskiego środowiska edukacyjnego. Konferencja nie tylko rozwija się naukowo, lecz także włącza się w szerszy ruch społeczno-edukacyjny, promując edukację onkologiczną, profilaktykę i świadomość zdrowotną. Powstałe Stowarzyszenie Onko-Forum wspiera te działania, rozszerzając inicjatywy edukacyjne i prozdrowotne, dzięki czemu wpływ SOF na środowisko akademickie i społeczne stale rośnie.
Dlaczego SOF 2026 jest wyjątkowe?
W obliczu rosnącego zapotrzebowania na specjalistów onkologii oraz dynamicznego rozwoju tej dziedziny, Studenckie Onko-Forum odgrywa kluczową rolę w inspirowaniu przyszłych pokoleń lekarzy. Konferencja ukazuje onkologię jako interdyscyplinarną i innowacyjną specjalizację, łączącą nowoczesne technologie, badania naukowe oraz opiekę nad pacjentem. Udział wybitnych autorytetów z Polski i zagranicy, w tym przedstawicieli międzynarodowych towarzystw naukowych, takich jak European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO), nadaje wydarzeniu międzynarodowy wymiar.
W trakcie tegorocznej edycji uczestnicy będą mogli uczestniczyć w wykładach, prelekcjach oraz praktycznych warsztatach prowadzonych przez wiodących ekspertów w dziedzinie onkologii.
Dołącz do najlepszych!

Talk abstract
An interesting concept, permitting the study of a variety of new photophysical phenomena is based on the assembly of modulated light- and electron-responsive materials. Three-dimensional structure of such materials is often driven by noncovalent interactions that control intermolecular interaction patterns and condensed state geometries. However, the resultant optoelectronic response may also be significantly impacted by the vibrational flexibility of molecules in an assembly. The prediction of noncovalent interactions, the control of supramolecular assembly and the consideration of materials’ dynamics are challenging, limiting further modification of molecules for new materials with desired photoinduced properties.
In my talk, I will demonstrate the application of multiscale modeling and automated workflow tools for understanding the assembly of functional organic molecules in pillar-layered and surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks. I will explain the prediction of their photoconductive, photoswitchable and chiroptical properties, as well as the molecular bases of light-induced phenomena and the influence of noncovalent interactions and molecular motions.

Talk abstract
Interacting with living cells has always been a challenging problem. The biological environment can be associated with an electrolyte in which the commonly used electrical signals tend to spread. Furthermore, contactless and wireless methods are extremely appealing due to their ability to leave unaltered the cell and tissue condition. Following this idea, light represents a clean and spatiotemporal precise tool to achieve effective bio-stimulation. Material-based light-transducers, such as conjugated molecules and macromolecules, have proven their efficacy at the interface with living cells and tissues. The interaction is possible thanks to the photophysics, biocompatibility and versatility in chemical synthesis of the molecular actuators. Exploiting a biomimicking approach a molecular phototransducer will be presented analysing both its photo/chemical properties and its ability to control cell activity. Finally as a case of study its application as a pacing tool will be presented validating this molecular phototransducer as an innovative tool for muscle cells contraction.

Agenda
Reactive intermediates are central to the understanding of chemical reactions. Due to their short lifetime their detailed study is challenging. One method that allows convenient study of highly reactive species is cryogenic matrix isolation. Here, reactive molecules or their precursors are frozen out in a large excess of inert gas (mostly argon, but also neon, krypton or xenon can be employed). This precludes intermolecular reactions and provides an environment for the spectroscopic study of the entrapped molecules. Typically, infrared spectroscopy, UV/vis spectroscopy and electroparamagnetic spectroscopy are employed for the analysis. The method is also well suited for the study of weak intermolecular interactions, e.g., hydrogen bonding, dative interactions etc. I will present the method and some of its seminal applications in the student lectures before reporting our own work in this area and its interconnection to the development of novel materials for energy storage.

Abstract
The potential energy landscape provides a conceptual and computational framework for investigating structure, dynamics and thermodynamics in atomic and molecular science.
This lecture will summarise recent developments for global optimisation, enhanced sampling, and rare event dynamics.
A variety of recent applications will be presented including proteins, nucleic acids, coarse-grained models, and design principles for self-assembly of mesoscopic structures, with recent results for global kinetics based on first passage time distributions.
