The Green Mountain Biophysical Symposium is an annual meeting event for researchers in the Green Mountain and greater area. Come learn what biophysics is, the types of knowledge being generated here at UVM, and how you can get involved in the action. This is an excellent networking opportunity for faculty and students across campus!
This event will have a special focus on early career researchers of broader fields, including biophysics, biochemistry, chemistry, and physics, in addition to pharmacy, math, and computer science. The goal is to encourage open interdisciplinary discussions and inspire collaborations across different research and geographic areas. There will be morning and afternoon sessions for oral presentations, and a poster session in the middle of the day.
Location: Innovation Hall E432
