Biomechanics and Biophysics of Living Matter, 2 April 2020.
Venue: USB Event space, Urban Science Building, Newcastle University.
In this workshop, it will mainly cover the biophysics/biomechanics of biofilms, bacteria, cells , soft tissues and cell-materials interactions. This workshop is sponsored by EPSRC, Newcastle University and SoftMech (University of Glasgow).
We welcome biologists, physicists, engineers, computing scientists and mathematician to attend. In this workshop, we would like the delegates actively participate the discussions that provide interesting physical insights including but not limited to the following areas.
- Nanobiomechanics of cells
- Mechanobiology of cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions
- Mechanobiology at the cellular and tissue scale, using experimental and modelling approaches.
- Mechanics of bacteria, biofilms and biopolymer meshes
-Antimicrobial surfaces
