ON-DEMAND SESSION | 20 MINUTES
Aaron Elbourne, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, School of Science
RMIT University, Australia
Dr. Aaron Elbourne will speak on combining BioAFM with high-resolution imaging techniques to investigate virus-like particles (VLPs), nanoparticle-cell interactions, and cell-virus adhesion.
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an advanced multi-parametric imaging technique that enables the 3D imaging of the surface topography of living biological samples in the nm-range, the characterization of nanomechanical properties, and the visualization of structural changes occurring at the molecular level.
Nanoscale Infrared (NanoIR) spectroscopy and imaging measures spatially varying physical and chemical properties with nanoscale spatial resolution in samples as diverse as polymers, thin films, monolayers, and biological materials.
Our guest speakers will provide insights into their work using these techniques and speak on exciting applications in the field of life science and biomedical research.
