The book, Biomembrane Frontiers: Nanostructures, Models, and the
Design of Life, a volume in the Handbook of Modern Biophysics
series, is based on a workshop held on the 20th and 21st of March
2008 at the University of California Davis. Unlike other meeting
monographs, the book presents the exciting frontiers of biomembrane
research for both expert and student c- leagues interested in
research at the interface of biology and physics. The idea of the
workshop originated from discussions about how to create an
effective o- reach for the NSF-NIRT joint project "Aerogel and
Nanoporous Materials for Biomolecular Applications" between the
Longo, Faller, and Risbud groups at UC Davis and the groups of Curt
Frank at Stanford and Joe Satcher at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory. In the p- ject we interacted with researchers from
diverse backgrounds and hoped to create an oppor- nity to foster a
multi- and interdisciplinary exchange of ideas. Thus, the workshop
idea was c- ceived. The workshop brought together experts working
on many different aspects of biological membranes: from theory and
simulation, to supported model bilayers, and to clinical appli-
tions. Several material scientists working on the interactions of
biological membranes with b- logical or nonbiological materials
also participated. Such a diverse set of experts in one meeting is
unusual, as the different communities of theorists and
experimentalists working on model membranes and real biological
systems are typically quite distinct and do not often interact.
