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
