The University of Waterloo, Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and The Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnology (CBB) are pleased to announce the 1st Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society of Canada (BSC) in Waterloo on June 17-19, 2015.
Poster Abstracts will be accepted until April 30, 2015.
Abstracts will be accepted until April 1, 2015.
Biophysical techniques and discoveries have revolutionized research and technological developments, advancing materials research, bio-and nano-technologies, biosensing, medicine, and pharmaceutical research.
This
meeting
is
dedicated
to
the
discussion
of
the
latest
developments
in
Biophysics
and
their
applications
at
the
interface
of
nanotechnology.
The
symposium
presents
excellent
opportunities
to
meet
leading
researchers
during
lectures
and
informal
discussions.
The
meeting
provides
a
unique
opportunity
for
students
and
researchers
in
academia
and
industry
to
learn
about
most
recent
advances
in
Biophysics
and
Nanotechnology
through
invited
lectures
and
student
talks/posters
as
well
as
exhibits
by
companies.Topics
include
(but
are
not
limited
to):
- Novel developments in Biophysics: techniques, theory, simulation, instrumentation and applications
