Nanoscale imaging and force measurements in Life Sciences
JPK Instruments invite you to a workshop on:
“Nanoscale imaging and force measurements in Life Sciences”
Tuesday 2nd December, Oxford Science Park, UK
- Topics include cell adhesion, molecular recognition, nanoparticles/cell interaction
- Technology focus on AFM, force spectroscopy and optical tweezers
- Discover new instrumental developments with practical demonstrations
- Free of charge
Atomic force microscopy, force spectroscopy and optical tweezers techniques all advance research in the Life Sciences from molecular biology to tissue engineering and biomedical devices. This workshop combines presentations on cutting edge applications and new technology developments from leading research groups and JPK applications scientists. Topics will include single molecule imaging, molecular recognition, cell adhesion/cytomechanics, trapping and tracking nanoparticle interactions. Practical demonstrations on imaging and force spectroscopy techniques will include new technology which quantifies single cell adhesion processes and signaling pathways.
The meeting will provide the opportunity for researchers in Life Sciences to discover new applications of these rapidly developing techniques and act as a collaborative forum for users of AFM, force spectroscopy and optical tweezers technology. The meeting program is attached.
The Oxford Science Park has ample parking and is located with easy access to Oxford’s rail and bus stations. Registration is free of charge and includes refreshments and a buffet lunch.
