International Conference on Biological Physics 2011, June 19-24, 2011, University of California, San Diego, CA

IUPAP第7届三年一度的国际生物物理学会议（ICBP 2011）将于2011年6月19-24日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行。生物学的定量描述正迅速成为21世纪科学的一个重要新前沿。这个领域一方面涉及生物学和生物化学的思想和方法，另一方面涉及复杂系统的物理学。这个领域的持续发展所需要的理论和实验合作已经建立，而这次会议提供了促进数学、生物学、物理学和化学学科之间相互促进的少数场所之一。ICBP2011会议是该类型会议中唯一一个特别关注促进来自发展中国家和工业化国家的“生物物理学”研究人员之间的互动，并特别强调初级研究人员（研究生和博士后学者）的参与的会议。2011年的会议将有来自40多个不同国家的500-600名初级和高级研究人员参加。

The 7th triennial IUPAP meeting, International Conference on Biological Physics (ICBP 2011) will take place June 19-24, 2011 at the University of California, San Diego. A quantitative description of Biology is rapidly emerging as a major new frontier for science in the 21st century. This field involves the cross-fertilization of ideas and methods from biology and biochemistry on the one hand and the physics of complex systems on the other. The theoretical and experimental collaboration needed for continued expansion of this field has been established, and this conference provides one of a few venues to facilitate cross-fertilization between the disciplines of mathematics, biology, physics, and chemistry. The ICBP2011 meeting is the only meeting of its genre that focuses specifically on facilitating interactions between "biological physics" researchers from both developing and industrialized nations, with an additional emphasis on the involvement of junior researchers (graduate students and post-doctoral scholars). The 2011 meeting will engage 500-600 junior and senior researchers from over 40 different countries.
