Abstract:
The goals of the workshop organized by Piotr Marszalek and Andres Oberhauser that took place between 29 August and 1 September 2019 at Duke University were to bring together leading experts and junior researchers to review past accomplishments, recent advances and limitations in the single-molecule force spectroscopy field, which examines nanomechanical forces in diverse biological processes and pathologies. Talks were organized into four sessions, and two in-depth roundtable discussion sessions were held.
