SUMMARY:Beyond Simple Models: The Consequences of Membrane Complexi
 ty in Living S
 ystems
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 50 years\, the biophysical community has deve
 loped a thorou
 gh understanding of the behavior of biomimetic membrane models. However\,
  such models often fail to faithfully recapitulate the complexity of livi
 ng membranes\, which are composed of hundreds of different lipids and tho
 usands of different proteins. Recent methodological and conceptual advanc
 es open the door to exploring the biophysics of complex membranes — in li
 ve cells\, in model membranes\, and in simulations. The goal of this meet
 ing is to discuss these recent developments\, with an emphasis on how lip
 id and protein complexity – and the emergent properties thereof - support
  the functions of  living membranes.  We also dedicate the meeting to a c
 elebration of the life and science of Luis Bagatolli\, with a major goal 
 being the attendance of membrane researchers from South America.\\n\\nThe
  scientific program covers synthetic and living membrane models\, lipidom
 ic complexity\, asymmetry\, maintenance\, engineering and function\, as w
 ell as recent developments in methodologies\, from computational modeling
  to state-of-the-art microscopy and spectroscopy.  Each session will feat
 ure invited speakers\, contributed talks\, and dedicated time for wide-ra
 nging discussions with the audience and other speakers. Sessions are plan
 ned on Lipid sensing and homeostasis\, engineering lipid complexity\, com
 putational modeling of biomembranes\, protein regulation by lipids\, memb
 rane organization in vivo.
