Biophysical Society Subgroup Symposium in San Diego, CA February 25, 2012.

该小组名为“生物体内聚合物”（BIV），旨在扩大对细胞生物物理学的理解，并吸引了来自世界各地的研究人员，特别是学生、博士后和早期职业生物物理学家的关注。组织者已经为2012年生物物理学会BIV研讨会选择了从分子到细胞系统的主题，以解决细胞环境对生物功能的影响。研究对象的范围从细菌中的蛋白质和核酸到合成细胞和细胞样环境。此外，涉及流体动力学相互作用和体积排斥的物理原理和理论为细胞内的生物分子动力学提供了补充的见解。此次研讨会将聚集该领域的知名人士和志在同一领域的本科生、研究生、博士后，从而加快细胞内研究的发展势头。这些会谈的级别将对2012年生物物理学会会议的一般与会者开放，该会议将在圣地亚哥举行。BIV小组将使用包括实验，理论和计算机模拟在内的广泛方法促进生物物质物理学的研究。

The subgroup, "Biopolymers In Vivo" (BIV), was created to broaden the understanding of biophysics in cells and has attracted the attention of researchers from around the world, and especially students, postdocs and early-career biophysicists. The organizers have selected for the 2012 Biophysical Society BIV symposium, topics from molecular to cellular systems to address the effects of cellular environment on biological functions. The subjects range from proteins and nucleic acids in bacteria, to synthetic cells, and cell-like environments. In addition, physical principles and theories involving hydrodynamic interactions and volume exclusion provide complementary insight into biomolecular dynamics inside a cell. The symposium will accelerate the momentum of research inside cells by gathering established leaders in this field along with undergrads, graduate students, and postdocs who share the same aim. The level of the talks will be accessible to general attendees of the 2012 Biophysical Society Meeting, which will be held in San Diego. The BIV subgroup will promote research on the physics of living matter using a wide range of approaches including experiment, theory and computer simulation.
