Atomic Force Microscopy for Nanoscale Biophysics: From Single Molecules to Living Cells summarizes the applications of atomic force microscopy for the investigation of biomolecules and cells. The book discusses the methodology of AFM-based biomedical detection, diverse biological systems, and the combination of AFM with other complementary techniques. These state-of-the-art chapters empower researchers to address biological issues through the application of atomic force microscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a unique, multifunctional tool for investigating the structures and properties of living biological systems under aqueous conditions with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. - Summarizes the recent progress of atomic force microscopy in biomedical applications - Presents the methods and skills of applying atomic force microscopy - Aids researchers in investigating the nanoscale biophysics of diverse biological systems

Mi Li PhD is a Full Professor at Shenyang Institute of Automation Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China. Mi Li received the Ph.D. degree in 2015 from Shenyang Institute of Automation (SIA) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China, after which he continues academic career at SIA until now. Since 2009, Mi Li has been engaged in the studies of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and its biomedical applications ranging from molecules and organelles to cells as well as hydrogels, to reveal the role of micro/nanoscale biophysical cues in regulating life activities. Mi Li has conducted long-term visitor studies at The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA and ETH Zurich, Switzerland, respectively for academic research regarding AFM. Mi Li has won the National Natural Science Foundation of China for Excellent Young Scholars (2019), the IEEE Senior Member (2020), the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2016) and the Springer Theses (2018).
