2^nd Call

FEBS “Advanced Course on Integrated Approaches to Biomolecular Interactions”, Sevilla (E) 7-11 May 2018.

Proposer: Antonio Diaz-Quintana.

School topic: Protein ligand interactions and protein-protein interactions by NMR, ITC, SPR; protein quality control by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry; global fit analysis of the data by interaction models. https://biomolecularinteractions.febsevents.org

ARBRE-MOBIEU, Molecular Machines and Native MS COST Actions “14^th Greta Pifat Mrzljak International School of Biophysics”, Split (HR), 23 August-1 September 2018.

Proposer: Tomislav Vuletić.

School topic: Insight into several biophysical techniques (NMR, EPR, FTIR, Raman, mass spectrometry, AFM, fluorescence and super-resolution microscopies) to study macromolecular assemblies, interactions at biological and biocompatible interfaces, physical properties of bio-inspired systems. These topics are complemented with computational and theoretical approaches, including modelling and simulation. http://school.ifs.hr/

FEBS Practical Course “Hydrodynamic and thermodynamic analysis of biological macromolecules and their interactions: multi-method approaches and global data analyses”. Prague (CZ), 23-28 September 2018. Co-sponsored by ARBRE-MOBIEU, Instruct and IUBMB.

Proposer: Ondřej Vaněk.

School topic: Theoretical and practical training in data analysis in several modern biophysical methods for monitoring and quantifying molecular interactions (AUC, ITC, SPR, MST, and fluorescence-based techniques). The course will put emphasis on the complementarity of these different methods and on the combined analysis of datasets coming from different methods. https://biomacromoldynamics2018.febsevents.org

EMBO Practical Course “Biomolecular Interaction Analysis 2018: From molecules to cells”, Porto (Portugal) 29 October – 3 November 2018.

Proposer: Frederico Silva.

School topics: Multidisciplinary approach to the study of molecular interactions from and in biological systems, integrating biochemical/biophysical methodologies (ITC,SPR, PWR, MST, BLI) with live microscopy techniques (FRET and FCCS). The results obtained during the practicals will be then processed, analysed and discussed with the tutors. http://meetings.embo.org/event/18-biomolecule

ARBRE-MOBIEU & BioBrilluin COST Actions “Emerging Tools in Biomechanics: from tissues down to single molecules”, Venice (I), 4-8 February 2019.

Proposers: Mauro Dalla Serra & Silvia Caponi.

School topics: At the interface between biology, physics and mechanics the school will survey recent advances and the emerging techniques able to probe mechanical properties of biological material. The school will introduce the topic at different length scales, from molecular and sub-cellular approaches (AFM, AFS), to single cells (Brillouin microspectroscopy, MEMS) and extending towards multicellular organization and tissues (nanoindentation, US micro-elastography). http://tiny.cc/BiophysicSchool-2019
