The international symposium will focus on applications of optical tweezers and related technologies.
The symposium will be held on the 18th June 2013 in Berlin at the Palisa De/Umspannwerk Ost.
More than 100 scientists from around the world expected to discuss their results and share scientific knowledge in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
NanoBioVIEWS was initiated by JPK Instruments to further the scientific knowledge exchange on instrumentation and applications of nanotechnology in the life sciences.
The scope of the symposium covers the applications of optical tweezers technology to areas including biophysical, biochemical and medical research to stimulate discussions between the research groups of the technique.
Leaders in the field together with novices are encouraged to attend and learn from one another, discuss the presentations and share their experiences in a convivial atmosphere.
Participants are invited to present posters about their current research. A panel of judges made up of the invited speakers will award prizes to the authors of the top three posters.
Keynote presentations of the symposium, given by speakers from Japan, Canada and Europe, will aim to answer such questions through the sharing of their experiences in applying and using optical tweezers in biophysical and biological research.
