The Società Italiana di Biofisica Pura e Applicata (SIBPA) and the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere e Arti (IVSLA), promote the

 

XXIX SCHOOL OF PURE AND APPLIED BIOPHYSICS

Biomimetic models for exploring membrane biophysical

properties in health and disease

 

 

Palazzo Franchetti

Venice, Italy - January 27-31 2025

     

Topic

The school focuses on membrane remodeling and trafficking, spanning different models of eukaryotic (plasma) membranes, ranging from supported lipid bilayers, to small/large unilamellar vesicles, giant plasma membrane vesicles and cell membranes of living cells (including 2D and 3D cell lines).

 

Attendees will be introduced to a variety of techniques suitable for studying the structural and chemo-mechanical  properties of lipid/protein nanodomains and their dynamic remodeling with high spatial and temporal resolution, correlated with cell functions.
