Bio-inspired materials & Bio-engineering
General
The next MIC Symposium will take place on November 15, 2024 in Fribourg, hosted by the University of Fribourg. The program will be updated continually.
The MIC Symposium is free of charge for all members of academic institutes. A fee of CHF 180.00 will be charged for participants from the industry.
Scientific Abstract
2024 events goes under the title "Bio-inspired materials and bio-engineering".
Live imaging of dynamics cell behaviour in living organisms not only visualises biological processes in situ, but also incites entire new research venues. The speakers in the “Imaging in Life Science and Biomedicine” session exploit the combination of cutting-edge model systems, high-resolution imaging, optogenetics, and data processing pipelines for application to diverse fields such as cardiovascular research, neuronal circuits in invertebrates and preclinical rodent models, as well as immunology.
The second session is devoted to the utilisation of microscopy concepts at the nexus between biological and material sciences. The judicious application of established imaging techniques, or even the development of existing techniques, can yield profound new insights into the functioning of nature, encompassing the concept of colour, chemical bonds, and the capture of single molecules.
The advent of super-resolution light microscopy techniques has provided unprecedented molecular and mechanistic insights into living matter. In the “Imaging at Nanoscale” session, speakers will delve into optical methods and imaging techniques that allow for the examination of materials and cells at the resolution of individual molecules. Presentations will include topics such as DNA nanotechnology, innovative protein labeling for single molecule imaging, live cell biosensors, and polarized fluorescence microscopy.
