The event took place from 21-23 October in the scientific city of Puschino (Moscow region).  It was held at the Puschino Research Center, which includes on its premises: Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Cell Biophysics, and the Institute of Basic Biological Problems.

The conference was held to study and discuss the most important findings and developments in the field of experimental and theoretical biophysics. Leading scientists from various regions of Russia made ​​presentations on scientific topics :

1. Theoretical Biophysics and Bioinformatics
2 . Biophysics of cell and intracellular signaling
3 . Radiation biophysics and radiobiology
4 . Bioenergy. Biological and artificial membranes
5 . Photobiology. The mechanisms of energy transformation
6. Environmental biophysics
7. Medical Biophysics and nanobiotechnology

On the day of the inauguration of the conference after a scientific report by Konstantin A. Lukyanov, presentations were given by experts of BioVitrum.

Anna Spirina presented about modern confocal systems in her report "Revolution DSD - a simple confocal system: an innovative hybrid of spinning-disk technology and structured lighting," and Anastasia Chernysheva presented on "microdissection and the selection of individual cells."

Traditionally, the conference participants are young scholars specializing in the fields of biophysics, physical and chemical biology, physiology and medical physics.

 

At the conference, BioVitrum specialists held workshops for young scientists on confocal microscopy. The training took place on the confocal imaging system ANDOR Revolution DSD. This system uses a spinning-disc technology and structured lighting to achieve optical sectioning by combining the latest optical design and high-speed image processing. Revolution DSD does not use laser light, but provides excellent value with a broadband light source. Using the Revolution DSD provides high contrast confocal images using magnification from 20x to 100x, and can serve as an effective alternative to laser scanning microscopy of fixed and living cells, tissues and embryos.

As part of the conference organized during the exhibition BioVitrum product specialists were consulted about modern solutions for research in the field of cell and molecular biology and microscopic systems of Nikon and Andor.

We thank the conference organizers for the opportunity to participate in such an interesting event!
