Asylum Research Sponsors First Taiwan AFM Bioworkshop at National Health Research Institutes July 30-31, 2009

Posted on June 26th, 2009

The AFM Bioworkshop will combine talks from leading researchers and industry experts on AFM for life science applications, as well as instructional AFM demonstrations using Asylum Research's MFP-3D™ AFM. Speakers include Hsien-Chang Chang of National Cheng Kung University, Shuchen Hsieh of National Sun Yat-sen University, and Ming-Long Yeh of National Cheng Kung University, Je-Wen Liou of Tzu Chi University, as well as Application Scientists Sophia Hohlbauch and Amir Moshar of Asylum Research. Topics covered include principles of AFM, biological imaging, force spectroscopy, integration of AFM and optical microscopy, sample preparation, application examples and future directions in AFM. The event is free to all researchers in the field of AFM.

"We are very pleased to be working with Asylum Research in hosting the first Taiwan AFM Bioworkshop," said Dr. Feng-Huei Lin, NHRI/National Taiwan University. "The instrument demonstration sessions will be invaluable for the attendees. It is a tremendous opportunity for them to learn tips and tricks from the experts."

"This is a great opportunity to exchange and share our AFM knowledge with some of the brightest researchers in this community," commented Dr. David Beck, Asylum Research Vice President of Asia Pacific Region. "We are looking forward to our continued collaboration with such a prestigious group as NHRI."
