This
partnership
project
is
led
by
CBB
member
Zoya
Leonenko,
and
aims
to
establish
long-term
research
collaborations
between
the
University
of
Waterloo
and
the
University
of
Bristol (UB),
United
Kingdom,
that
will
lead
to
important
outcomes
both
in
terms
of
scientific
communications
and
grant
applications.
It
helps
to
establish
collaborations
between
UW
researchers
and
commercial
companies.
It
promotes
the
newly
established
Biophysical
Society
of
Canada
(BSC)
and
helped
to
establish
regular
annual
meetings
of
the
BSC.
The
project
also
provides
excellent
international
experience
for
UW’s
graduate
students
and
will
help
to
establish
national
and
international
relationships
with
students
and
faculty
to
develop
