SC3: Optical, Electro-magnetic and Acoustic Manipulation in Biology

Organized by Prof. Remo Proietti Zaccaria (Cixi Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Ningbo Institute of Materials and Technology Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Dr. Dan Cojoc (Institute of Materials --- National Research Council)

Session's Information:

The session focuses on fundamentals and applications of optical, electro-magnetic and acoustic based methods for particle manipulation in biology, from single-molecule and single-cell experiments to molecules and cells sorting. We welcome contribution related to (but not limited to) the following specific topics: 1) new theoretical approaches describing the interaction of bio-molecules and cells with the electromagnetic field 2) single-molecule experiments describing the dynamics of the reactions 3) single-cell experiments elucidating mechanisms involved in cell signaling, motility and survival 4) new experimental approaches to trap, detect and manipulate particles in biology.
