Quantifying Biology: Working at the Interface Between Biology and Physics
With funding from the School of Medicine and ASCB the Galbraith lab is hosting a one day symposium on May 20th, 2014. Talks in the Old Library, lunch with the speakers for registered participants, and an afternoon QB data slam in the Vollum where post-docs and students compete for cash prizes and free ASCB memberships. Registration is required, but there is no fee.
All of the outside speakers use multi-disciplinary approaches and principles from the physical sciences to study their biology. Click on their links to learn about the diverse approaches used in their research.

Last year the microscopy community lost one of its most talented, devoted, and celebrated microscopists - Mike Davidson.
Over the past decade, Mike has been instrumental in figuring out the performance characteristics of nearly every fluorescent probe. His lab at Florida State’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory shared this information on his website establishing Mike as the international reference for fluorescent probe properties.
He was our friend and colleague and we will miss him.
