Back for the evening session #PacSURF24 with Prof Christopher Muratore from U Dayton introducing us to mass produced medical diagnostics from 2D materials. #manufacturing #medtech @avs-members.bsky.social #skychem #skymanufacturing 🧪

Fabulous to have Dr Saimon Moraes Silva from La Trobe Uni in Melbourne give his invited talk #PacSURF24 on #biosensing , #biofouling & #electrochemistry inspired by nature #skychem 🧪 @avs-members.bsky.social @asbte.bsky.social

#PacSurf24 Continuing around the Pacific Rim to Japan & Prof Kaori Suguhara’s invited talk on mechanobiosensing in biomaterials and biomembranes #skychem @avs-members.bsky.social

Biomimetic leaf surfaces as models for bacterial attachment with Prof Volker Nock focusing on how plants develop beneficial niches for synergistic growth. #skyeng #skychem #PacSurf24 @avs-members.bsky.social 🧪

Leaving the Pacific Rim and heading to Switzerland with Prof Stefan Seeger discussing supercritical angle microscopy for amyloid protein visualisation. #PacSurf24 #skychem @nickrey.bsky.social @avs-members.bsky.social 🧪

Day 2 #PacSURF24 with Prof Jenny Malmstrom @aucklanduni.bsky.social kicking our sessions off engineering cell environments & understanding how cells respond to scaffold stiffness #chemsky #biosky @avs-members.bsky.social

I'm a bit Jealous of everyone over in Hawaii for #pacsurf24 - looks like an amazing line up of speakers!

#chemsky #ozchem 🧪

Last talk of the day from graduate student Alexander Blagojevic from U Connecticut telling us about his neuroarray research developing textured Ti-based electrodes. #PacSURF24 #variety #biointerfaces @avs-members.bsky.social

Shifting gears to sustainable food packaging with Prof Monique Lacroix from INRS, Canada. Reducing food waste by improving packaging to prevent food loss. Using irradiated gelatin dosed with riboflavin & antimicrobial essential oils creates sustainable packaging #PacSurf24 @avs-members.bsky.social

Back from the break with coffees in hand to hear our next Invited talk from Prof Amy Gelmi @drtinytaps.bsky.social from RMIT discussing targeted stem cell therapies & AFM for understanding stem cell mechanics. @avs-members.bsky.social #PacSURF24 #biointerfaces

Kate McHardy discussing cryo- SIMs analysis of zebra fish - fascinating insights on detection in tissues using water cluster guns. Given it is 5AM in England and she arrived 2hrs ago, Kate is a legend! Also thanks to Ionoptika for sponsoring #PacSURF24 so generously @avs-members.bsky.social

Back from an afternoon of snorkeling for science to continue at #PacSURF24 with Prof Jiro Matsuo from Kyoto Uni discussing SIMS molecular signals and sputtering from cluster sources. @avs-members.bsky.social #ToFSIMS #biointerfaces #MickyMouseBrains

Plenary at #PacSURF24 from Prof Yang Shao-Horn from MIT discussing the urgent needs for electrochemical storage solutions for our transitioning energy systems. @avs-members.bsky.social #electrochemistry #energystorage

Prof Lindberg is improving host-implant integration via using cartilage models to study the interfaces between mature tissue and introduced cell implants. How do we induce migration with the right healing responses to give complete integration @avs-members.bsky.social #PacSURF24 #biointerfaces

Moving to 3D cell culture and models with Prof Gabriella Lindberg from @universityoforegon.bsky.social discussing cell models for knee joints including cartilage loss models. #PacSURF24 #Biointerfaces #medtech @avs-members.bsky.social

Staying with #USNRL with Dr Kenan Fears discussing how barnacles prevent biofouling near their attachment sites. Amyloid secretions form cements that remove the biofilm ahead of rhe barnacle growth! #PacSURF24 #Biointerfaces @avs-members.bsky.social

First talk #PacSURF24 #Bio sessions we are on to marine biofouling with Dr Sara Tuck from USNRL discussing copper based anti fouling coatings and the movement of invasive species across global waters in marine biofilms on shipping. #biofilms @avs-members.bsky.social

Registrations with a view #PacSurf24 with the @avs-members.bsky.social we are kicking off the meeting this morning on the glorious Big Island of Hawai’i
