IHRS-BioSoft Symposium: Biophysical techniques to understand life at different scales

When studying biological organisms, one is confronted with the sheer complexity of the physiological processes that are essential for life.
Every biological system requires a delicate hierarchical organization of interactions spanning from processes in a single cell to the collective behavior characterizing bionetworks.
This symposium aims at providing an interdisciplinary event to bring together the complementary skills of experimentalists and theoreticians to better understand the role of forces, flow and fluctuations within biological systems.
Organizers: S. Dasgupta, G. Saggiorato, G. Fabris, M. Balbach

- Wrapping of ellipsoidal nano-particles by fluid membranes Sabyasachi Dasgupta, Thorsten Autha, Gerhard Gompper Soft Matter, 9, 5473-5482 (2013) Membrane budding and wrapping of particles, such as viruses and nano-particles, play a key role in intracellular transport and have been studied for a variety of biological and soft matter systems. We study nano-particle wrapping by numerical minimization of bending, surface tension, and adhesion energies. We [...]...

- Self-assembly of interpolyelectrolyte complexes and their interaction with lipid membranes Electrostatic interactions are instrumental in determining the structure and function of living organisms, biopolymers and drug delivery systems. Charged macromolecules can self-assemble and aggregate into compact intermolecular complexes. This ability of oppositely charged polymers to form finite size complexes determines their biological function, which for example is important in gene transfection and compactization of DNA, that provide promising alternatives to viral vectors.
