Program Overview

 

Food technology is a dynamic field of science that incorporates disciplines as diverse as chemistry, physics, microbiology, biochemistry, and chemical engineering.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is an advanced multiparametric imaging technique that delivers 3D profiles of the surfaces of biological samples in the nm-range and enables the characterization of their molecular structure and nanomechanical properties.

Our expert guest lecturers offer detailed, application-specific information, examples, and practical guidance regarding the use and utility of AFM in leading-edge food science research.

Prof. Raffaele Mezzenga, Pd.D., Department of Health Sciences and Technology & Department of Materials ETH Zurich, Switzerland

The focus of Prof. Raffaele Mezzenga’s research is on the fundamental understanding of self-assembly principles in proteins, polymers, liquid crystals, food and biological colloidal systems. He has co-authored over 300 publications. He has been a visiting Professor at the Helsinki University of Technology (now Aalto University), RMIT Melbourne, Monash University and NTU Singapore. His work has been recognized by several prestigious international distinctions such as the 2017 Fellowship and the 2013 John H. Dillon Medal of the American Physical Society, the 2013 Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Investigator Award of the American Chemical Society, the 2011 American Oil Chemists' Society Young Scientist Research Award, and the 2004 Swiss Science National Foundation Professorship Award. 

Assoc. Prof. Uri Lesmes, Ph.D., Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Israel

Assoc. Prof. Uri Lesmes joined the Technion in 2010 after holding appointments as visiting scholar, lecturer, and post-doctoral fellow at the University of Reading (UK) and the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (USA). His expertise lies mainly in the rational design of food and the investigation of food’s digestive fate using in vitro digestion models and foodomics tools and approaches. Uri has an h-index of 31 with over 4400 citations and he is the academic supervisor of the Center for Health and Food Innovation as well as the EIT Food Accelerator program at the Technion.

He is publicly active in many international scientific activities and professional committees (such as the INFOGEST network, FWO Flanders, BBSRC, SNF, EFFoST) and has received various recognitions for outstanding academic teaching and research.

DNA-PAINT is a localization-based super-resolution method offering molecular resolution (< 5 nm) combined with unlimited multiplexing capabilities. DNA-PAINT reagents from Massive Photonics are a perfect match for the Bruker Vutara VXL microscope. In combination with the Bruker fluidic system, automated, multiplexed cellular imaging in 3D is now accessible out of the box.

Watch the webinar for practical guidance for DNA-PAINT sample preparation, image acquisition, and data analysis, as well as an introduction to:

  • The Vutara VXL super-resolution microscope and integrated fluidics unit;
  • The theoretical background of DNA-PAINT; and
  • The products available from Massive Photonics for DNA-PAINT experiments.
