Annotation

Artificial nanoparticles are interesting for different applications in physics and biomedicine. They are produced by various techniques, either by the top-down approach (disintegration of bulk materials) or the bottom-up synthesis from chemical precursors. Both the production technology and special characterization techniques are still subjects of extensive interdisciplinary research. Potential application in biology and medicine includes fluorescent labels and markers, drug carriers, cell scaffolds, targeted sensors, photosensitizers etc. Nanomaterials suitable for bioapplications should be non-toxic, easily functionalized, biodegradable etc. Special attention is devoted to abundant materials like carbon (nanodiamonds, carbon-dots, nanotubes) or silicon (nanocrystals and nanowires). This workshop aims to bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, biology and medicine who are interested to develop and apply nanomaterials (especially silicon and carbon-based nanostructures). It should build up new interdisciplinary collaboration and bring new ideas for future development.

Call for presentations

Colleagues willing to present a talk have to submit a title with author names and affiliations to Jan Valenta. Deadline August 20, 2015.

Only oral presentations are expected. The time slot for one presentation will be around 30 min including discussion (please, allow enough time for discussions - an important aspect of the workshop). Excursion into new facilities of Biomedical center will be organized during the meeting.

Participation is open to the whole academic community and it is free of charge.
