We have a pleasure to invite you to the Symposium on Theoretical and
Numerical modeling of Biomembranes
in conjunction with
International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics
(ICNAAM 2014)
Biomembranes, surrounding individual cells and organelles inside of eukaryotic cells, form barriers that separate inside from out and allow the existence of life processes. Therefore, their structure and properties have been a vital part of the research for many years now. However, due to their complex nature, experimental studies have to be complemented by theoretical and computational investigations in order to provide a holistic understanding of biomembranes. The symposium welcomes all researches and students interested in biomembranes research based on theoretical approaches. The studies should be presented in a way to enable a dialog between theory and experiments and, subsequently, to encourage experimental verification of the presented ideas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Membrane structure and function
- Transport across membranes
- Membrane fusion
- Membrane changes during cell division
- Electroporation
- Energy transformation in membrane systems
- Propagation of information
- Membrane and immunology response
- Modification of membrane properties
