SUMMARY:MBI 10th Anniversary Conference: Mechanobiology after 10 years: The promise of mechanomedicine
DESCRIPTION:The Mechanobiology Institute’s 10th Anniversary Conference\n “Mechanobiology after 10 Years: The Promise of Mechanomedicine”\nOrganized by\nMechanobiology Institute\, Singapore (MBI) \n7-10  November 2018 \nIn partnership with\nCNRS\, France\nThe National Centre for Biological Sciences\, India\nThe Weizmann Institute of Science\, Israel\nThe FIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology\, Italy \nAbout\nThe Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2018. The field has grown significantly in the last ten years and mechanosensing and mechanotransduction are now common elements in the analysis of most cellular functions.  Mechanobiology is at the heart of cancer\, cardiovascular disease and the problems associated with aging.  In the area of wound healing\, mechanical stimulation is already a proven beneficial treatment.  A major challenge is whether or not we can move from phenomenology to molecular mechanisms that can be inhibited or accelerated to block further damage or improve healing.  Because targeted mechanical stimuli can alter biochemical processes in ways that drugs are meant to do but without long-lasting side effects\, they can be part of treatments.  However\, the targets of the mechanical stimuli and the downstream pathways involved should be understood to effectively design treatments.  Thus\, it is important to continue the interdisciplinary assault on Mechanobiology at a molecular level by using super-resolution microscopy and nanotechnology tools.  This conference is not to celebrate our successes but rather to start to define the areas where the understanding of mechanobiology can dramatically alter our approaches to fundamental biological problems in aging and disease. \nDates\n7-10 November 2018 \nVenue\nThe Shaw Foundation Alumni House\, National University of Singapore \nThemes\nIn line with this\, MBI’s 10th Anniversary Conference will be organized on the following themes : \n\nCancer Mechanobiology\nPathogenesis\nNeuro-degeneration\n3D Model Systems\nSingle molecule Mechanobiology\nMesoscale Mechanosensitivity\nTheoretical Mechanobiology\nEngineering Mechanobiology
