Biophysical Society Bulletin | February 2019

Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting

Thismeeting will focus on how recent discoveries by single-moleculemanipulation and nanoscale imaging enablemolecular level understanding of biophysics with emphasis on replication, transcription, protein synthesis, chaperone-mediated protein folding/degradation, andmolecular motors. In addition, the goal is to feature the latest cutting-edge developments in singlemolecule instrumentation and nanoscale visualization, steeredmolecular dynamics simulations, and single-molecule applications for the study of pathogens and infectious diseases. The research done at the single-molecule level is inherently interdisciplinary, taking place at the interface of cell biology, physics, bioengineering, biochemistry, and computational biology. Thismeeting will bring together researchers with a wide range of expertise and interests who use single-molecule tools to address problems in each of these fields. Thismeeting will feature keynote speakers, selected talks from the submitted abstracts, discussion sessions, and poster presentations. Together, these events will provide the attendees—particularly students and junior researchers—multiple ways to interact with the leaders in the field, stimulate the exchange of ideas, and foster collaborations among them. Furthermore, thismeeting will provide a platform for scientists in other fields to get interested in single-molecule approaches and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. Revisiting the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology at the Single-Molecule Level July 18–21, 2019 | UTEC - Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología Lima, Peru
