Midwest Regional Biophysics Networking Meeting "Career Lifetimes: From Undergraduate Training to Principal Investigator"
Event date:
Saturday, Oct 15, 2016 - Saturday, Oct 15, 2016 Export event
Event Location: 1536 Hewitt Ave, St Paul, MN 55104
This event has passed. Check out our upcoming Networking Events.
This event is designed to bring regional biophysics research groups together to hear some great science, initiate or strengthen collaborations, and increase awareness of biophysics in our area. A primary goal of the event is to increase interactions between primarily undergraduate institutions, large research universities, biotech companies, and research driven medical centers. We invite you to join us as leaders in education, research, and academic medicine share their investigations into fundamental biological problems using biophysical techniques.
