BioAFM Workshop: Seeing and Feeling at the Nanoscale
Advances in BioAFM techniques and technologies enable the investigation of mechanics, structures, and dynamic processes
Free workshop co-hosted by The University of Texas at Austin and Bruker
Discover the Latest Advances in BioAFM Technology
Bruker is pleased to co-host a BioAFM Workshop with the Center for Biomedical Research Support at The University of Texas at Austin on October 13, 2026. During this free event, presentations on the Center's Bruker NanoWizard 4 XP BioAFM will cover both the basics of atomic force microscopy for the life sciences, as well as advanced techniques.
This workshop is being co-hosted by Dr. Quinn Lee, Light Microscopy Specialist, and Dr. Anna Webb, Director of the Microscopy & Flow Cytometry Facility at The University of Texas at Austin.
We will also offer hands-on demonstrations with the Bruker NanoWizard 4 XP BioAFM. There may be limited opportunities to have samples evaluated during the workshop, so participants are asked to indicate their interest and submit sample details as part of the registration process.
Space is limited, so register today to secure your spot.
If you have any questions regarding the workshop, please contact Steve Ziegler at stephen.ziegler@bruker.com.
