The school focuses on membrane remodeling and trafficking, spanning different models of eukaryotic (plasma) membranes, ranging from supported lipid bilayers, to small/large unilamellar vesicles, giant plasma membrane vesicles and cell membranes of living cells (including 2D and 3D cell lines).

Attendees will be introduced to a variety of techniques suitable for studying the structural and chemo-mechanical properties of lipid/protein nanodomains and their dynamic remodeling with high spatial and temporal resolution to correlate it with cell functions.

The program includes:

Lectures, experimental demos, round tables, case studies
