NIS Colloquium “Antimicrobial Biomaterials and their Potential Applications”
Dear colleagues,
you are kindly invited to participate to the NIS Colloquium “Antimicrobial Biomaterials and their Potential Applications” that will take place on the 19th of June 2023 from 14 to 18:30 at the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology – Aula Magna – Via Accademia Albertina 13, Turin, Italy.
The workshop is organized by the Departments of Chemistry of the University of Turin and NIS Centre.
*Attendance is free, but you are required to register at the following link by June 15th: https://bit.ly/nisAntimicrobial
Antibiotics have seen extensive use in applications ranging from healthcare, livestock, and food security. However, wide-spread distribution and misuse of these antibacterial compounds has led to increased antimicrobial resistances (AMR), which is currently projected to affect over ten million lives by 2050.
As such, with antibiotics serving as a primary treatment for wound management, it is necessary to consider alternative strategies that do not promote the generation of antimicrobial resistances.
With this colloquium we wish to bring together national and international researchers that are tackling this topic from different perspectives with the aim to discuss the latest results and opportunities.
Confirmed speakers:
– Silvia Irusta, University of Zaragoza
– Manuel Arruebo, University of Zaragoza
– Sonia Fiorilli, Polytechnic of Turin
– Elisa Restivo, University of Pavia
– Sonja Visentin, University of Turin
Slots for oral contributions are available. If interested, please contact the organisers: nadia.barbero@unito.it or carlotta.pontremoli@unito.it

Photons & proteins
A workshop in honor of Martin Chalfie
Università di Parma, Centro Sant’Elisabetta
July 3, 2023 14.30-18.00
The discovery and development of the Green Fluorescent Protein has revolutionized the research in life sciences, by making accessible real-time molecular processes in living cells that would be otherwise invisible. Besides being at the basis of structural and functional fluorescence imaging, the interaction between visible photons and proteins is responsible for a variety of processes that are at heart of life. In the occasion of the conferral of the honoris causa degree in Physics by the University of Parma to Nobel laureate Martin Chalfie, the workshop intends to honor his work and proposes an array of lectures touching on diverse aspects of the interaction of light with proteins.
This workshop is part of the events planned for celebrating the 50th anniversary since the foundation of the Italian Society for Pure and Applied Biophysics (SIBPA).
Programme
The Empire of Light Alberto Diaspro Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and Università di Genova
Photoswitching in fluorescent proteins followed by time-resolved X-ray crystallography Martin Weik Institute of Structural Biology, Grenoble
Genetically encoded photo-switchable molecular sensors for optoacoustic and super-resolution imaging Andre C. Stiel Helmholtz Center Munich
Multiple LOV: blue-light sensing, fluorescence and oxygen Aba Losi Università di Parma
Channelrhodopsins in nerves and land plants: challenges and opportunities Georg Nagel University Würzburg
Participation in the workshop is free and no registration fee is required. However, due to the limited capacity of the lecture hall, it is necessary to send the request to participate by June 15, 2023. For information, contact Stefania Abbruzzetti (stefania.abbruzzetti@unipr.it) or Cristiano Viappiani (cristiano.viappiani@unipr.it).

A selection of leading scientists in the fields of photobiology, photo-pharmacology, photo-dermatology, optoelectronics, etc. has been invited to present their latest research advancements.
We invite all of you to submit abstracts for oral presentation or posters. The latter will be included as an interactive virtual session on the platform. All PIs are asked to encourage their students and postdocs to submit posters for the meeting.
Registration Details:
Registration is open until 11th June. To register go to (google form)
VERY IMPORTANT: the virtual conference will be FREE OF CHARGE for all REGISTERED participants upon registration.
