DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vahid Sandoghdar\, Richard Taylor\, Cornelia Holler\
 n\nSeptember 11-12\, 2025The symposium will review recent advances in the 
 precise and controlled administration of biological materials—such as vi
 ruses\, vesicles\, and pharmaceutical agents—to individual live cells\, 
 in a manner where the first moments of interaction between a cell and reag
 ents located within the extracellular nanospace can be investigated\, henc
 e the introduction of the term "Near-field Cell Biology". These developmen
 ts are opening exciting pathways for exploring processes in cell biology t
 hat are mediated by the plasma membrane and promise to contribute to the d
 evelopment of personalized medicine and therapeutics. \nAn outstanding gro
 up of invited speakers will elaborate on state-of-the-art methods for stud
 ying the interactions of molecules and nanoparticles with cells as well as
  discussing their significant implications for understanding basic cellula
 r functions both in the healthy and disease conditions. The symposium aims
  to foster a lively forum for exchanging ideas among pioneers\, thought le
 aders\, and early adopters from both academia and industry. \nPoster sessi
 ons and roundtable discussions will be held to identify pressing questions
  in near-field cell biology and innovative approaches for addressing them.
