This year, PicoQuant will hold the annual workshop on “Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Ultra Sensitive Analysis in the Life Sciences” for the 20th time. It will take place from September 2 to 5, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. On the occasion of the anniversary, the workshop will have an extended schedule including a public keynote lecture by Stefan W. Hell, director at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, and winner of the Otto Hahn Medal and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize. The annual workshop provides an interdisciplinary platform for experienced and young scientists to share their research in ultrasensitive optical detection down to the single molecule level and below the classical diffraction limit. Along with lectures from some of the most renowned scientists in the field, a number of oral presentations will be selected from among the received abstracts. The program will be completed by poster sessions and a special social event. During an open afternoon Stefan W. Hell will present his latest results using nanoscopy with focused light. Further high-ranking speakers including Joerg Enderlein, Atsushi Miyawaki, W.E. Moerner, Markus Sauer, Claus Seidel, Toshio Yanagida, and Xiaowei Zhuang have confirmed their attendance and will give talks on their recent findings and developments.
