From Modeling to Advanced Applications
Date: 23 July 2015
Location: Main Palace Hotel, Roccalumera, Sicily (near Taormina) – Italy
Satellite Event of ITN-SNAL Summer School on Biomaterials, Cell Membranes and Bilayers 24 July – 2 August 2015
This workshop will bring together researchers working in different fields of Nanoscience and Biotechnology and is an opportunity to discuss the existing and novel approaches in Modeling, Fabrication, Instrumental Development and Application of emerging technologies in lipid research. The workshop, that anticipates the ITN-SNAL Summer School on Biomaterials, Cell Membranes and Bilayers, will provide an excellent opportunity for networking, sharing of ideas and ptoentially interaction with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Broad and active participation of experts, postdoctoral fellows and students is encouraged.
The multidisciplinary character of the meeting will highlight recent advances in this rapidly evolving area of research with a goal of stimulating new ideas toward Nanoscience and Drug Discovery.
Areas to be covered include, but are not limited to,
- Self assembly in Nanoscience and Biotechnology
- Modeling Interaction in Nanostructures and Biomaterials
- Nano-Fabrication and Advanced Characterization Techniques
- Multifunctional Nanocarriers and Drug Delivery Applications
- Smart Approaches in Biotechnology and Medicine
