We are delighted to invite you to participate in the 4th International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) organized and hosted by the Australian Society for Mechanobiology (AuSMB). The conference will be co-hosted by the University of Sydney Nano Institute and take place at the Sydney Nanoscience Hub at the University of Sydney, Australia, from the 6th to the 9th of November 2022.
This conference started in 2011 with the founding of the Society in Shanghai, China, and has occurred every three years also visiting Okayama (2014) and more recently Singapore (2017). This is the first time this conference is being held in Australia.
The primary purpose of the 4th International Symposium on Mechanobiology (ISMB) is to act as a forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research and innovation in the field of mechanobiology. It will bring together 200+ delegates from both the Australian and International communities (students, scientists, clinicians, engineers and stakeholders from academia, industry and other organisations) working in the broader field of mechanobiology to discuss new and exciting advances in the field.
The conference will focus on topics that include:
|| Force Sensing Proteins ||
|| Mechanisms of Cellular Mechanotransduction- Ion Channels ||
|| Mechanisms of Cellular Mechanotransduction- The Cytoskeleton ||
|| Tissue Mechanics ||
|| The Mechanobiology of Human Disease ||
|| Cardiovascular Mechanobiology ||
|| Mechanosensing in Plants ||
|| Bioengineering: Making Tools for Mechanobiology Research ||
|| Single-molecule Biophysics ||
We look forward to your attendance and participation at this world-leading conference!
