Biomolecular Systems Day 2019

Biomolecular Systems Day 2019
We would like to invite you to participate in the 7th Annual Biomolecular Systems Day on December 12th 2019 in the lecture hall of the central building (Max-Planck-Campus). Please register free of charge by sending an email to: bmsday@mpikg.mpg.de Registration deadline: 10th of December, 2019 We are looking forward to an interesting meeting [more]

We are proud to announce the “AESTHETICS get SYNTHETIC” workshop that will take place in the Main hall of the Max Planck Campus in Potsdam-Golm the afternoon of Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of November 2017.This workshop is an opportunity to bring together scholars and practitioners to jointly discuss and reflect on contents, approaches and methodologies that draw the link between synthetic biology and artistic research and how those can synergically interact by mutually interrogating and reconsidering their methodologies and modes of operation in an Artist in Residence program like KLAS. In this workshop we are particularly interested in discussions and perspectives that explore how different institutions, organizations and interest groups with relevant expertise and knowledge of research, innovation and education address contemporary challenges of future developments in and beyond their respective knowledge silos.

The Biomolecular Systems Department is the youngest program within the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. The Department has grown into a dynamic and exciting environment over the last five years. We feel that it is time to have a day to celebrate and share our accomplishments and vision for the future. The Biomolecular Systems Day will feature scholarly presentations from all group leaders within the department, a keynote address from Prof. Dr. Peter H. Seeberger, a plenary lecture by one of our alumnis as well as selected sponsors and a vendor fair. [more]
This colloquium aims to bring together scientists working with different materials at fluid interfaces, to exchange ideas and to create new concepts, which are of increasing importance and relevance in the field of modern colloid, material and life sciences. In the last years, Langmuir monolayers have encountered a drastic increase in activity mainly due to the applicability of highly interface sensitive techniques. However, they are not directly relevant for applications. Yet, due to their high definition they are excellent models for many areas with application potential. They are the precursors for Langmuir-Blodgett films, organized monolayers possessing potential for coatings and organic electronics. They present the interfaces in emulsions, a basic structure in colloid science. They have a high value as 2D models of biological membranes (phospholipid monolayers at the air/water interface) to study structures and bimolecular interactions. Langmuir monolayers became more and more used as model template systems to better understand the elementary steps of biomineralization processes. The ability of biological samples to self-assemble at the air/water interface makes them valuable templates for functional nano-materials. The design and synthesis of new NPs for future biomedical applications has received increased scientific attention during the last years. The self-assembly of novel amphiphiles at the air-water interface has been even used to produce mechanically robust, macroscopically extended carbon nanosheets at room temperature. Ostwald4 The program will consist of invited and contributed talks as well as of a poster session. Young scientists are especially encouraged to attend the Ostwald Kolloquium and to present a poster or a short talk. Accordingly this should become a very lively meeting that will show the current state of research as well as the way to promising activities and developments in the future. [more]

6th Bubble and Drop Interfaces (B&D2015)

After B&D workshops in Empoli (1995), Genoa/Italy (2004), Granada/Spain (2007), Thessaloniki/Greece (2009) and Krakow/Poland (2012) we have the 6th B&D workshop now in 2015 in Potsdam/Golm, Germany. Although the first meeting in Empoli was a great scientific success it took 9 years to realize that such a topic is attractive to quite a large community and provides a lot of things to be discussed on a regular basis. Since then, the first workshop became the starting point for a series of workshops with increasing interest. Still, we can call these meetings workshops although we have two parallel sessions with the two COST actions CM1101 and MP1106. Anyway, we hope to enjoy hot discussions of open questions and non-ready work. The B&D 2015 workshop will hopefully continue the successful tradition of the former meeting and provide the platform for fruitful discussions of experts from academia and industry. [more]

14th European Student Colloid Conference

This series of conferences represents a platform for young scientists working in the field of Colloid and Interface Science. This time the meeting will be held in Germany, at the Max Planck Campus of Potsdam/Golm. This venue will provide a lot of opportunities, in particular an excellent scientific environment and the MPI of Colloids and Interfaces is the official host. [more]
