How to Perform Accurate Force Measurements in Biological and Soft Matter Research

You're invited to join us for an insightful webinar featuring special guest speaker, Prof. Andreas Janshoff from Georg-August University Göttingen, Germany. In this session, Prof. Janshoff will explore how atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to perform precise force measurements on biological and soft materials.

Forces are critical in various biological processes, such as cellular responses, molecular interactions, and protein binding. They are also vital for understanding the nanomechanical properties of samples. AFM has become a leading technology for measuring interaction forces at the nanometer scale, enabling researchers to quantify forces and assess properties like Young's modulus, cell adhesion, and viscoelasticity. This data is essential for investigating biomechanical changes related to diseases and interactions.

Prof. Janshoff will present his research on using AFM to study the biomechanical characteristics of cell membranes, focusing particularly on the viscoelastic behavior of the cell cortex.

Webinar Highlights:

• Key insights and proven techniques for obtaining reliable AFM results
• Common challenges and practical advice for ensuring measurement consistency
