The 16th International Workshop on "Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Ultra Sensitive Analysis in the Life Sciences" takes place in Berlin, Germany from September 15 to 17, 2010.
We are pleased to welcome eight renown invited speakers to this years workshop, who will present their recent findings and developments. Participation in the workshop is possible by giving a talk, presenting a poster or without any presentation. Please note that registration is limited and required prior to the event.
The aim of this workshop is to provide an interdisciplinary platform for users as well as developers from Physics, Chemistry and Biology to share their experience, exchange information and report their recent findings and developments in the field of ultrasensitive optical detection and microscopy down to the single-molecule level.
Ultrasensitive spectroscopic techniques evolve to become standard tools in fundamental biological and biomedical research, as they allow the study of function, structure and interaction of individual single biomolecules. Since the first report of the detection of a single molecule in solution in 1976, the range of techniques and methods have constantly grown. Today, single molecules can be detected using widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy, scanning optical nearfield microscopy (SNOM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) or Raman scattering. Even superresolution measurements below Abbe's classical diffraction limit are possible with confocal microscopes and techniques like stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED), photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) or stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM).
Nowadays not only improving and extending the existing arsenal of single molecule techniques and methods is still of paramount interest, but also the beneficial usage of the existing and already established techniques is a major challenge for applications ranging from chemical analysis to biophysics, biological and biomedical research, medical diagnostics and material research.
The call for papers is closed.
PicoQuant especially wants to encourage young scientists. As in the previous years a special prize of 750 Euro for the "Best Student Talk" will be awarded by PicoQuant GmbH. The intention is to encourage oral presentation in preference over poster submissions.
| until June 1, 2010 | June 1, 2010 until September 3, 2010 | |
| Academic / University | 240 € | 280 € |
| Industry and Private Sector | 750 € | 900 € |
Besides full workshop attendance, the fee includes all coffee breaks, 1 reception, 1 dinner, 2 lunches and an abstract digest.
For payment you may choose between credit card (Visa, Master Card) and bank transfer.
Please note that registration is binding and special cancellation conditions apply:
Please note that the fee waivers have already been granted. Further applications can not be accepted.
Due to this years overwhelming numbers of registrations received, we where forced to close the registration earlier than expected because of the limited capacity at the workshop location.
We are currently evaluating possibilities to allow a few more participants - if you are interested in joining the workshop, please contact us via email.
The 16th workshop will be held in the "Max-Born-Saal" in Berlin-Adlershof, located in the south-east of Berlin.
A SymPhoTime training day will be held on Tuesday, September 14. Details can be found on a separate website.
There are various hotels in the area but we strongly recommend the following, which are in walking distance and for which we have negotiated special rates for a limited number of rooms - please book as soon as possible.
