Biophysics conference and training course in Manchester, UK
|
Next week I will go to a biophysics conference in Manchester UK. Actually it is not a pure conference. It offers meeting as well as a training course to attract new PhD students and young researchers. Honestly speaking, the courses for UK's undergraduates and even postgraduates could not prepare them for the research. However, it offers lots of Summer schools and conference-training course mixture, which bridges the gap between teaching and research, leads young researcher immediately to the cutting-edge of the field. It is exactly what lacks of in postgraduate education in China.
The poster session is also interesting, which offer young researchers a chance to demonstrate their own research in a short time.
The following is the conference programs:
We present a one-day research meeting on emerging themes in biological physics combined with a one day training course intended for students and PDRAs who are considering a career in biophysical research. Programs will be based on invited talks from leading UK researchers and will include poster sessions. They will highlight a series of emergent themes in biological physics.
Day one is a training session in which distinguished speakers discuss experimental and theoretical methods. It is primarily intended for graduate students and post-docs who are interested in exploring the possibility of interdisciplinary research at the interface between physics and biology. The session is not restricted to those already working in this area. The programs of the two parts of this meeting are designed to be complementary: participants in the training session will be expected to attend on both days. Participants will be encouraged to present posters on their existing research projects.
Day two focuses on three rapidly developing fields in whose development physics is expected to play an important role over the next decade: networks, excitability, and motility. Presentations by experts in each of the three highlighted themes will start with an overview intended for non-specialists and will include state-of-the-art research. There will be a poster session. A limited number of contributed talks will be selected from submitted abstracts.
