Rome: SNAL workshop within 3rd World Congress on New Technologies (NewTech’17)

 

7 June 2017 from 12:10 to 17:30. The general topic of the meeting is the interactions of lipid membranes with nano-objects including functional biomimetic polymers, polymeric micelles, carbon nanotubes and polymer therapeutic complexes/conjugates to enable the intelligent design of novel materials with improved bilayer modifying properties.

as a apart of

3rd World Congress on New Technologies (NewTech’17)

Given the large differences in background between experimental and theoretical/computational ESRs, training courses will aim to highlight these two areas at different levels.

Workshop topics

  • Phospholipid bilayer theory and computer modelling
  • Synthetic polymers for cross-membrane delivery
  • Supported lipid bilayers and Langmuir monolayers
  • Bioinspired Polymers, Bioengineering and Biotechnology
  • Lipid vesicles
  • Phase separated bilayer domains
  • Drug delivery systems
  • Nanotoxicology
  • Biostabilisation and cell preservation
  • Regenerative medicine
