✦ Synopsis
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is gaining recognition as a powerful tool for life science researchers wanting nanoscale imaging and manipulation to study cells, molecules, and forces. At the first AFM BioMed conference, held in Barcelona, Spain, 19-21 April 2007, only 50 attendees were expected, but the response to the conference announcement was overwhelming: 220 researchers attended, with many of the pioneers in the development of AFM and of its use in biology giving talks. Topics covered cellular interactions, single-molecular recognition, affinity, unfolding force measurements, high-resolution imaging, protein-membrane interactions, and more.
