Hasbrouck Room 409

Join us for the first Biophysics Lunch of the Spring Semester!  Professor Andrew Stephens from the Biology Department will discuss "Separating the Roles of Chromatin and Lamins in Cell Nuclear Mechanics, Morphology, and Function."  The talk will be short and informal and the discussion will be lively!  Come to learn, network, and enjoy the free lunch.  Students, postdocs, and faculty from all Five Colleges are welcome!

BIOPHYSICS SLAM 2019!

Thursday, December 12, 2019 - 9:00am to 1:00pm

Life Sciences Laboratory S330

The Five College Biophysics Research Slam returns this December! The Slam combines short morning talks on a wide variety of biophysical topics with focused break-out sessions to discuss scientific and funding opportunities. The event is designed to connect and engender collaboration between life scientists and researchers who develop and use biophysical tools, imaging techniques, physical measurement, and modeling.

Please register here.  No more presentations will be accepted, but please do register if you plan to attend. There is no cost!

This year, in addition to a grant-planning breakout session, there will be a session lead by the Amherst College chapter of the Biophysical Society, specifically for students!  Students from all Five Colleges interested in planning biophysics events or starting a chapter of their own are very much encouraged to participate!

A DRAFT agenda can now be found linked below under "View Details."
