Event Description
Watching single biological molecules at work is now possible and the unravelled
features of the molecular machinery at the nanoscale are currently changing our
view of the cell. Though, bridging the gap between nano- and micro-world is not easy: how to relate single molecule events to biological functions at the cell level? how do molecular structures assemble, coordinate and integrate in the whole? Thanks to physicists and biologists, we will address these questions and try to give some answers. Speakers will present recent concepts and methods in physics and biology dedicated to single molecule observation and description of the cell at the submicron level. Particular emphasis will be given to the optical methods, which allow the observation of live cells in physiological conditions.
Pre-registration: Application deadline 28 february 2006
Selected participant will be informed before the end of march
Registration and paying attendees deadline: 30 April 2006
Event Accommodation
Accommodations will be provided on the basis of single and shared double rooms at the Institute or at the hotels nearby. Limited family accommodations are also available.
As the number of single rooms is limited, participants are encouraged to provide the name of a possible room-mate.
