The membrane workshop has been a lively event and a great success in every respect. The large number of participants from the Pittsburgh area underline how strongly represented the field of biomembrane research is. The wide scope of talks and poster contributions demonstrated a large number of exciting research projects and unveiled many possibilities for fruitful collaborations.
Below please find a number of images taken during the workshop. They capture the atmosphere and excitement better than words can do. We hope they remind you of exciting two days and let you hope for similar events in the future!
