7th Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology Conference to Showcase Cutting-Edge Research in Mechanobiology

Camogli, Genova, Italy – Calling all mechanobiology enthusiasts! Get ready for the 7th edition of the Nanoengineering for Mechanobiology Conference (N4M2024) scheduled to take place from March 3rd to 7th in the picturesque setting of Camogli, Genova, Italy.

DATE: 3rd to 7th March 2024

Featuring a vibrant mix of presentations, lectures, poster sessions and networking, N4M2024 is poised to be a hub of innovation and collaboration, showcasing the latest advancements in mechanobiology.

IMPETUX is thrilled to announce its participation, where we’ll be spotlighting our cutting-edge SENSOCELL optical tweezers. Discover how our technology extends force measurements and mechanical characterization across in vitro, ex-vivo, and in-vivo samples, offering insights into cell membrane mechanics, intracellular microrheology, and stress-relaxation tests.

Mark your calendars for March 4th as we dive deep into the capabilities and applications of SENSOCELL optical tweezers during our talk at the Nanomechanics and Mechanosensing session.

Don’t forget to also swing by our exhibition booth or attend to live demonstrations of SENSOCELL optical tweezers throughout the conference. We will be providing a chande to witness our groundbreaking Technology in action and an opportunity to engage directly with our team.
