NanoMedicine International Conference 2018

Speaker's Details

Prof. David Alsteens

Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium

Prof. Dr. David Alsteens is now a head of a NanoBioPhysics group at Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. David has acquired his MSc. and PhD at the same University in the field of nanobiothechnology with Prof. Yves Dufrene. After that David did a PostDoc at Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering at ETH in Basel, Switzerland in the group of Daniel Mueller. David’s research focus at the moment on the NanoBioPhysics of the cell surface machinery. His team uses mainly use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to image at high-resolution single proteins, receptors, virus and cells. Furthermore, he uses force-distance curves based-AFM to probe molecular or cellular biophysical properties to quantify at the single-molecule level interactions that drive biological processes. David is the co-author of 55 publications and 7 books.
