Joint UBI-NanoLSI workshop “TRENDS IN MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS OF LIVING CELLS”

Joint UBI-NanoLSI workshop TRENDS IN MOLECULAR BIOPHYSICS OF LIVING CELLS

Organizers: K. Kaneko, N. Kodera, A. Mikhailov, S. Okuda, S. Sawai

  Jointly organized by Universal Biology Institute (U.Tokyo) and the Nano Life Science Institute (Kanazawa Univ), this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the two institutes to review progress in understanding physics of biological cells. Current topics on the dynamics with biological functions ranging from the level of single biomolecules, individual biological cells to multicellular systems will be discussed. The workshop will focus on both experimental and theoretical aspects. UBI, the University of Tokyo: http://park.itc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/UBI/index_e.html NanoLSI, Kanazawa University: https://nanolsi.kanazawa-u.ac.jp/wp/en/   Date: November 19-21, 2019 Venue: G15 Conference Room, Natural Science and Technology Library Hall, Kanazawa University, Kakuma-machi, Kanazawa 920-1192
