Unilever: Course on lipid science and technology

Ian Tucker — Mon, 04 Sep 2017 15:45:22 +0000

Date: 12 September 2017 (morning) Location: Online Time: 10:00 – 13:00 CET (9:00 – 12:00 UK) Online (WebEx) half-day course for SNAL ESRs and ERs (see program of the event) Specific course on lipid science and technology (inter-sectorial) Unilever has extensive knowledge of basic physical chemistry about lipid structures, phases and interactions with polymers and surfactants. This capability underpins the company’s leading business activities in food and personal care sectors. The structuring, rheological and mechanical properties and stability of these systems rely critically on the tuning of interfacial molecular composition and structure.

Dresden: courses on general polymer theory and simulation

Jens-Uwe Sommer — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 19:18:01 +0000

13 April 2016. Core training courses will cover such topics as methodology, models, and statistical estimation and hypothesis tests. Essential background and computational models for modelling lipid bilayers and their interactions with nano-objects will also be provided. Given the large differences in background between experimental and theoretical/computational ESRs, training courses will aim to highlight these two areas at different levels. Compact courses on general polymer theory and simulation Open for all ESRs and ERs. ERs are included in tutorials and course preparation activities. ESRs can be involved into existing programs such as the Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering DIGS-BB.

Imperial College London: Fundamentals and Applications of Lipid Membrane Biophysics

Shiqi Wang — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:19:45 +0000

Dates: 22nd-24th September 2015 Location: Horsley Park (Ockham Road South, East Horsley, KT24 6DT) SCOPE Lipid membranes are the basic building blocks for almost all living organisms. For years numerous reports have been focused on this area to establish a comprehensive understanding of membrane structures. More recently, the development of modern experimental techniques, such as small-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle neutron scattering and cyro-TEM, provides more powerful tools for this study. In addition to experimental study, theoretical models and computational simulations also contribute to broadening the scope of this field. The fundamental study of lipid membranes facilitates technical applications, for instance, designing drug carriers which can be transferred
