Single cell biophysics: measurement, modulation, and modeling

1644339？PayneNSF颁发了一项奖励，以支持来自美国的受邀演讲者(5人)和研究生(5人)参加2017年6月17-20日在台湾台北国立台湾大学举行的生物物理学会主题会议“单细胞生物物理：测量、调制和建模”。演讲者(共30人)将来自美国、亚洲和欧洲。学生将被选中进行简短的演讲，并根据应生物物理学会时事通讯的邀请提交的摘要颁发旅行奖励。五名学生奖获得者也将从台湾选出。会议的重点是生物物理学的重大挑战之一：如何理解单个细胞的复杂性，这在时间和空间上是多尺度的。这次会议聚集了工程师和科学家，目的是讨论单细胞生物物理领域的实验、计算和理论进展。主题包括单分子、单细胞和组织成像的进展，细胞结构和过程的动力学和空间组织，细胞对三维微环境的响应，单细胞分析的新实验和计算方法，以及细胞与材料的相互作用。这次会议为来自美国的与会者提供了一个独特的机会，让他们与来自欧洲(例如瑞典、西班牙、瑞士和英国)和亚洲(例如台湾、中国、韩国、日本和新加坡)的与会者进行互动。这次讲习班的结果将以报告的形式发表在生物物理学会通讯上，并在其网站上公布。

1644339 ?PayneNSF has made an award in support of travel for invited speakers (5) and graduate students (5) coming from the United States to attend a Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting "Single Cell Biophysics: Measurement, Modulation, and Modeling" being held at the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, June 17-20, 2017. Speakers (30 total) will come from the United States, Asia and Europe. Students will be selected for short presentations and presented travel awards based on abstracts submitted in response to an invitation posted in the Biophysical Society newsletter. Five student awardees will likewise be selected from Taiwan. The meeting focuses on one of the grand challenges of biophysics: how to understand the complexity of a single cell, which is multi-scale in time and space. The meeting brings together engineers and scientists for the purpose of discussing experimental, computational and theoretical advances in the single cell biophysics field. Topics include advances in single-molecule, single-cell and tissue imaging, dynamics and spatial organizations of cellular structures and processes, responses of cells to three-dimensional microenvironments, new experimental and computational methods for single cell analyses, and the interaction of cells with materials. The meeting provides a unique opportunity for participants from the US to interact with participants from Europe (e.g., Sweden, Spain, Switzerland and Great Britain) and Asia (e.g., Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan and Singapore). Results from this workshop, in the form of a report, will be published in the Biophysical Society newsletter and made available on their website.
