The workshop was very helpful. It was new disciplinary group of people for me - I am a chemical engineer who works on developing systems that mimic biological pores, and I met many biologists and physicists that study the structure and operation of the pore itself. Learning about the mechanistic insights was very helpful and inspiring, I came back with new ideas. I also met with many scientists, some of which I am interacting with on potential collaborations. Overall, it was a great experience and very productive.

This workshop was characterized by exceptionally high level of scientific interactions and discussions. There were several important suggestions by some of the participants that I am going to incorporate in my research on nuclear pores. I have also started several new collaborations in the areas of polymer-grafted membranes, laser-induced florescence studies of DNA translocation through nanopores and single molecule imaging of chromatin dynamics.
