MINICOURSE: Nanomedicine and biological barriers: from structural evaluation to in vitro/ex vivo methods
Over the years, the biomedical field has seen significant advancements in the application of nanostructures, driven by their unique physicochemical properties and their ability to modulate biological effects. Nanostructures present advantageous characteristics like memory and fluidity effects, which enable them to overcome biological barriers, such as mechanical resistance and bioadhesion. This makes them suitable for various applications, including mucous, skin, joint viscosupplementation, and accessing or repairing blood vessels. Understanding these principles is crucial for designing nanostructured systems with optimized physicochemical stability, predicting in vivo dissolution processes, controlling opsonization, modulating release kinetics, and enhancing permeation of bioactives in physiological and pathological conditions. This minicourse focuses on the development of nanostructured systems, studied by biophysical techniques, to regulate bioactives in vitro and ex vivo permeation across biological barriers and intact or damaged tissues.

3rd Symposium on Current Topics in Molecular Biophysics (CTMB3)
São Paulo, Brazil, October 7-9, 2024
This is the third installment of the Current Topics in Molecular Biophysics symposia. These meetings draw leaders in the area of exerimental and theoretical molecular biophysics, in order to discuss recent major advances and questions in the field. The first two events were in 2014 and 2018, and then we had a rather long break due to the pandemic. With everything getting back to normal, we are excited to get this meeting back together, so that we can all meet up again soon!
V International Course on Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Systems Biology
10.09.2024 – 10.11.2024 Rio de Janeiro - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Systems biology is a fundamentally interdisciplinary field that aims to understand biological phenomena at the level of organisms, tissues, or cells in a holistic manner. It draws upon tools and approaches from various areas of knowledge, such as physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
At this event, you will have the opportunity to meet nationally and internationally renowned scientists in this field. Additionally, an introductory course in Systems Biology will be presented for those with background in Biology.
