Join us and special guest speaker Dr. Lydia Powell, Swansea University Medical School, for this webinar on the Biomechanical Analysis of Tissues, Organoids, and 3D Cellular Structures using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

By mimicking the structure and function of organs and human tissues, spheroids, organoids, and 3D cellular models are revolutionizing medical research. AFM, an advanced multiparametric imaging technique, can provide invaluable insights into complex biological and biomechanical mechanisms in samples ranging from individual biomolecules and cells to tissues and 3D multicellular aggregates.

Dr. Lydia Powell, whose work is at the interface of engineering and biomedical sciences, will speak on using 3D spheroid cellular models to study the mechanisms of drug resistance in ovarian cancer treatment, metastasis, and chronic wound biofilm-related infections, and how this research can be translated into the design and delivery of new therapies.

Don’t miss the LIVE demonstration, where we will illustrate SmartMapping, an advanced AFM mode that allows the automated investigation of challenging, uneven samples, such as living cells, organoids, and tissues, and the flexible investigation of arbitrarily shaped mapping areas.
