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

Vladimir Baulin — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 14:30:05 +0000

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,

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.
