Biophysics Society Subgroup Symposium to be held during the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting on March 5, 2011 in Baltimore, MD

该奖项支持巩固一个新的自组织团体“细胞内的生物聚合物生物物理学”，以在即将举行的生物物理学会年会上举办一个小组研讨会。 这个小组出现在2010年3月在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行的生物物理学会最后一次年会上。这个新兴的小组由生物物理学家组成，他们对使用跨学科的生物物理方法来更好地理解细胞内的生物聚合物生物物理学感兴趣。 了解大分子在体积限制下的性质被认为是一个重要的和发展中的领域，可能会吸引顶尖的年轻生物制药学家在未来，并有广泛的知识影响。更广泛的影响：演讲者是来自世界各地的顶尖研究人员。会谈的水平将在2011年，巴尔的摩，马里兰州，包括研究生和本科生的生物物理学会年会的与会者。这个新的小组将促进细胞内生物聚合物生物物理学的研究，包括实验，理论和计算机模拟。目前，妇女和少数民族在这一新兴和重要领域的代表性不高。 九位发言者中有一位是妇女。在努力接触年轻的研究人员谁是一个重要的群体，未来的科学家在这一新兴领域，特别是妇女和少数民族学生，旅行奖将颁发给年轻的研究人员谁提交最好的摘要和海报。

This award lends support to solidify a new self-organized group "Biopolymer Biophysics Inside a Cell" to hold a subgroup symposium at the upcoming Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society. This group emerged at the last Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society in March 2010 in San Francisco. The emerging group is composed of biophysicists interested in communicating ideas about using interdisciplinary biophysical approaches in better understanding of biopolymer biophysics inside a cell. Understanding the properties of macromolecules under volume constraints is viewed as an important and developing area that is likely to attract top-young biophysicists in the future and have a wide-range of intellectual impacts.Broader Impact:The speakers are top researchers from around the world. The level of the talks will be accessible to attendees of the Biophysical Society Annual meeting in 2011, Baltimore, Maryland, including graduate students and undergraduates. This new subgroup will promote research on biopolymer biophysics inside cells tackled from fields including experiment, theory and computer simulation. Presently, this emerging and important field does not have good representation by women and minorities. One of the nine speakers is a woman. In an effort to reach out to junior researchers who are an important group of future scientists in this emerging field, particularly women and minority students, travel awards will be presented to junior researchers who submit the best abstracts and posters.
