Crystallisation – A Biological Perspective
Faraday Discussion 159
23 – 25 July 2012
Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
Deadline for Oral Abstracts: 30 September 2011
Crystallisation – A Biological Perspective: FD159 aims to bring together researchers working in the areas of biomineralisation, biomimetic crystallisation, nucleation and crystal growth, and will offer a huge benefit to all parties by the discussion of similar problems from different perspectives within these themes:
- Biological Crystallisation Mechanisms
- Current Ideas in Nucleation
- Amorphous Precursor Phases
- Self-assembly Crystal Growth Mechanisms
Confirmed invited speakers:
- Professor Daan Frenkel (Introductory), University of Cambridge, UK
- Professor Jim DeYoreo (Closing ), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA
- Professor John Spencer Evans, New York University, USA
- Professor Hiromichi Nagasawa, University of Tokyo, Japan
- Professor Dr Alfons van Blaaderen, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
- Professor Laurie Gower, University of Florida at Gainsville, USA
- Professor Dr Helmut Cölfen, University of Konstanz, Germany
- Professor Peter Vekilov, University of Houston, USA
- Professor Lee Penn, University of Minnesota, USA
- Professor Bartosz Grzybowski, Northwestern University, USA
We invite you to submit an abstract for an oral presentation by 30 September 2011.
We hope that this conference is of interest and that you will attend this exciting Faraday Discussion next year.
Please keep Faraday Discussions’ sister journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) in mind. PCCP brings you content of the highest quality in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. With high-impact research, and a truly international readership, PCCP is the ideal place to publish. We invite you to submit your research to PCCP today.
