Sorry, deadline for oral presentations was February 25th!
POSTERS ARE STILL WELCOME.
Introduction
For presentation at the AFM BioMed Conference, Red Island May 12-15, 2010 (International meeting on AFM in Life Sciences and Medicine), to facilitate the final repartition and to balance all the sessions, all participants are kindly invited to submit their abstracts, choosing for each two of the different sessions listed below.
Registrations are limited to 250 participants.
Session I - Interaction & Recognition
Interactions; Recognition; Structure; Single molecule; Force Spectroscopy; DFS
Session II - NanoEcology & Nanotoxicology
Marine Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Nanoecology; Nanotoxicology; Hydrobiology
Session III - NanoBIO I
High Resolution, Membranes, Proteins, Virus, Bacteria, Yeast, Cells
Protein - nucleic acids e.g. Chromatin conformation and dynamics; DNA-enzyme, RNA superstructures, etc.) Lipid-protein (e.g. proteins in biological membranes; artificial bilayers, reconstituted membranes including protein conformation and dynamics; novel, integrated imaging techniques, etc.); Protein-protein (e.g. processive motors; amyloid fibers; affinity imaging; receptor-ligand; protein multimerization; ligand-induced conformational variations in proteins, etc.
Session IV - Trends in Theory & Technology
New and emerging Technologies; High speed imaging; Coupling with other techniques: Raman, fluorescence
Session V - NanoBIO I I
High Resolution, Membranes, Proteins, Virus, Bacteria, Yeast, Cells
Protein - nucleic acids e.g. Chromatin conformation and dynamics; DNA-enzyme, RNA superstructures, etc.) Lipid-protein (e.g. proteins in biological membranes; artificial bilayers, reconstituted membranes including protein conformation and dynamics; novel, integrated imaging techniques, etc.); Protein-protein (e.g. processive motors; amyloid fibers; affinity imaging; receptor-ligand; protein multimerization; ligand-induced conformational variations in proteins, etc.
Session VI - NanoMedicine*
Nanomedicine and cellular mechanics; Medicine & NanoMedicine, Drug Discovery, Cell Mechanics
* Nanomedicine (+ AFM & related techniques)
Today the term nanomedicine covers a wide range of scientific and technical approaches and practices which surpass the general frame of AFM BioMed Conferences.
This session will be more specifically dedicated to nanophysiology and studies of physiological molecular mechanisms.
These approaches could be defined as the ensemble of investigations and measurements at molecular and sub-molecular level, mainly using the methods and tools of SPM and related techniques.
Objectives are discovery of specific molecular mechanisms, interactions and structural properties which favour:
* recognizing and understanding clues for early diagnosis and treatment of diseases,
* solving interfacial or adsorbing problems raised about biocompatibility of implants and/or any kind of invasive techniques,
* …
However, groups involved in other aspects of nanomedicine experiencing directly AFM techniques are of course very welcome to present their results.
