 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Single Molecule Approaches to Biology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is to facilitate knowledge exchange among researchers involved in studying and manipulating biological systems at the level of individual molecules. Topics will include single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and superresolution imaging, single-molecule force spectroscopy, protein nanopore sensing, and related methods.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Single Molecule Approaches to Biology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
