AFM BioMed Conference

9th AFMBioMed Summer School  in GRENOBLE 2017 (August 21st-25th)

 

The School offers an introduction to Atomic Force Microscopy in Life Sciences and Medicine for Ph.D student, post-docs,  scientists, core facility technicians and engineers. Lectures in the morning are complemented by hands-on experiments in the afternoon. There are about 20 places for students doing hands-on experiments. Participants are encouraged to send a CV and a motivation letter to the organizers. AFM beginners are welcome.
 

                                  

 

     

Trainees will be welcomed by CEA Fundamental Research Division, Institut de Biology Structurale  and  Institut Laue-Langevin.

Lectures and practical trainings will be organized at the IBS building located on the European Photon & Neutron Campus in Grenoble  (access)

Local Organizer (and for more information): Jean-Luc Pellequer
