Title & Abstract:

“Deciphering Cancer Biology Mechanisms with the C-Trap”

In this seminar, we delve into the advanced capabilities of the C-Trap technology, a pioneering integration of optical tweezers with fluorescence microscopy. The C-Trap has been instrumental in advancing molecular biology research, providing unparalleled insights into dynamic molecular interactions. While the C-Trap’s applications span a broad spectrum, our focus will be on its profound implications for cancer biology, in particular DNA replication and repair, transcription, and organization. We will explore how the C-Trap elucidates intricate cellular processes, offering a deeper comprehension of cancer’s molecular underpinnings. Attendees will gain an appreciation for the potential of this technology to drive forward both fundamental research and therapeutic innovations in the realm of oncology.
