“Atomic Force Microscopy, from single molecule to single cell”, Bordeaux, June 13-15

Dear Colleagues,

Registration and abstract submission is now open for the INSERM workshop entitled “Atomic Force Microscopy, from single molecule to single cell”. The registration is open till april the 9.

The workshop will take place in Bordeaux on the 13-15 of june.

The aims of the workshop are :

- Provide the fundamental knowledge to understand the operating principle of the AFM,

- Give the basics ofprinciple of the AFM,

- Give the basics of interface chemistry necessary for understanding the interactions between surfaces and the AFM tips

- Present, through examples, areas of Bio-AFM expanding and rapidly changing (biomechanics, imaging of living cells, imaging of membrane proteins, High Speed AFM, spectroscopy at the single molecule scale),

- Bringing together the community of physicists interested in biology and the biologists.

 

The invited speakers are:

David Alsteens (Louvain-La-Neuve/Belgium),

Terri Camesano (Worcester/UK),

Simon Foster (Sheffield/UK),

Peter Hinterdorfer (Linz/Autria),

Ratnesh Lal (SanDiego/California USA),

Daniel Mueller(Zurich/Switzerland),

Hans Oberleithner (Munster/Germany),

Juan Pelta (Cergy-Pontoise/France),

Emmanuelle Trévisiol (Toulouse/France).
