467th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar
|
|
|
|
The autonomy of every living cell and the functioning of every cell
organelle is ensured by a bounding membrane. The study of these
membranes is one of the corner stones of the foundations of modern cell
biology, and their fascinating properties have attracted attention from
biochemistry, soft matter physics, colloid chemistry and mathematics.
This seminar will discuss phenomena related to various membrane
transformations both from experimental and theoretical point of view.
The contributors will introduce and discuss current key experimental
approaches, modern methodologies and theoretical approaches. The target
goal of the conference is to identify the basic mechanisms underlying
membrane transformations and thus to guide the impetus for future
research in this area.
