Center director Adrian Parsegian, long-time fellow and past president of the BPS, was recently named a fellow of the American Physical Society. His citation reads:" For seminal contributions to biological physics by formulating and measuring forces organizing biological molecules and driving transitions in ionic channels and macromolecules to connect molecular structure, conformation, and function."

Five College Biophysics Network Launched!

Monday, November 30, 2015 - 10:45am to Tuesday, December 15, 2015 - 10:45am

The CBP thanks the UMass Center for Teaching and Faculty Development for the award of a Mellon Mutual Mentoring Grant to form a new Five College Biophysics Network (FCBN). The grant will provide for biweekly lunch meetings to engender collaboration and interaction between researchers who are often separated by disciplinary, departmental, and college boundaries. Funds are also available to start a biophysics seminar series, and to bring in professional mentors, writers, or program managers to run workshops on topics of particular interest to early-career biophysicists. If you would like to join the network, or if you have ideas for workshops or scientific speakers, please contact lgoldner@physics.umass.edu.
