Nuevo coloquio Marie Curie: 'Una nanohistoria de fluorescencia'

David Jameson, investigador en bioquímica en la Universidad de Hawaii, protagoniza esta nueva conferencia de la serie Coloquios Marie Curie del CSIC. 

La conferencia será impartida en inglés. 

Fluorescence methodologies have gained increasing importance in the last few decades and are crucial to many investigations into chemical, physical and biological systems, including diverse medical applications. 

Although many of the more important advances in the fluorescence field have relied on modern improvements in light sources (such as lasers), light detectors and computers, it is instructive to look back over the long history of this field to appreciate some of the outstanding contributions by individuals from many countries.  Our retrospective takes us back to the Aztecs, to the German dye industry, to outstanding scientists in the early to mid-1900s and to recent NASA interplanetary probes.  The sensitivity of fluorescence has allowed studies on single molecules and methods have improved over the past few decades to allow resolution in living cells to distances of a few nanometers with subnanosecond temporal resolution. 

La charla será el miércoles 11 de junio a las 12:00 en el salón de actos del Instituto de Química Física Blas Cabrera del CSIC.
