Workshop“FICN2021-Frontiers in ion channels and nanopores: theory, experiments, and simulations”

Between 2nd and 5th February 2021 the Workshop entitled “FICN2021-Frontiers in ion channels and nanopores: theory, experiments, and simulations” was held online.

This workshop brings together leading and emerging scientists in the field of ion channels and nanopores covering theoretical advances, state-of-the-art simulation approaches, and frontline experimental techniques.

Ion channels are fundamental biological devices that act as gates in order to ensure selective ion transport across cellular membranes; their operation constitutes the molecular mechanism through which basic biological functions are carried out. From a more general perspective the study of biological ion channels enshrines the possibility to identify the design principles for biomimetic nanopores, and as such it is of great interest not only for the biophysical, but also for the nanotech community.
