September 11-12, 2025
The symposium will review recent advances in the precise and controlled administration of biological materials—such as viruses, vesicles, and pharmaceutical agents—to individual live cells, in a manner where the first moments of interaction between a cell and reagents located within the extracellular nanospace can be investigated, hence the introduction of the term "Near-field Cell Biology". These developments are opening exciting pathways for exploring processes in cell biology that are mediated by the plasma membrane and promise to contribute to the development of personalized medicine and therapeutics.
An outstanding group of invited speakers will elaborate on state-of-the-art methods for studying the interactions of molecules and nanoparticles with cells as well as discussing their significant implications for understanding basic cellular functions both in the healthy and disease conditions. The symposium aims to foster a lively forum for exchanging ideas among pioneers, thought leaders, and early adopters from both academia and industry.
Poster sessions and roundtable discussions will be held to identify pressing questions in near-field cell biology and innovative approaches for addressing them.
Space is limited, so please register sooner than later!
