SCHOOL OVERVIEW AND PROGRAM
Biophysics is a molecular science rapidly moving to the nanoscale. It seeks to explain biological function in terms of the molecular structures and properties of specific molecules. The size of these molecules varies dramatically, from small fatty acids and sugars (~1 nm = 10-9 m), to macromolecules like proteins (5-10 nm), starches (>1000 nm), and the enormously elongated DNA molecules. Much effort in biophysics is directed to determining the structure of specific biological molecules and of the larger structures into which they assemble. Some of this effort involves inventing new methods and building new instruments for monitoring these structures, and many of the exciting new developments in optical microscopy, in terms of imaging and manipulation, spectroscopy and visualization, are part of this effort. Starting from these considerations we planned to focus on Advanced Optical Microscopy Methods in Biophysics the theme of the XI School of Pure and Applied Biophysics, to be held in Venice, from  January 29 to February 2 - 2007, Palazzo Franchetti, the prestigious premises of the  Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere e Arti (IVSLA).
