    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Neutron imaging is a powerful non-destructive technique that is particularly sensitive to light elements, such as hydrogen, due to the interaction of neutrons with atomic nuclei rather than electron clouds. This unique contrast mechanism enables the visualization of materials and processes that are often inaccessible using conventional X-ray imaging, making neutron imaging especially...

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Living organisms are much more than the sum of their parts, and understanding how they work requires studying them over a vast range of time and length scales. Photosynthesis beautifully illustrates the challenges inherent in studying biological systems: on a femtosecond to picosecond time scale, light energy absorbed by a photosynthetic antenna complex is transferred through a maze of...

  3. 1122. Using single-molecule interferometric light scattering to deduce protein aggregation mechanisms

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Fibrillar aggregates of disordered proteins are a key feature of many diseases and also play diverse functional roles. The current state of the art for deducing protein aggregation mechanisms involves globally fitting concentration-dependent fibril growth kinetics to analytical models to infer the most plausible mechanism. Such analyses applied to many different proteins find that secondary...
