The Workshop on Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) will provide an interdisciplinary forum for researches from various disciplines –from bio-chemistry and cell biology to physics and computational modeling to discuss both basic and applied aspects of the transport through the NPC.

Particular focus of the workshop will be to foster the interaction between experimental and theoretical approaches aimed for relating NPC structure to its function, and understanding mechanisms of the selectivity of transport through the NPC and related biologically inspired artificial molecular sorting nano-devices.
