Single cell biophysics: measurement, modulation, and modeling

1644339 ?PayneNSF已经为来自美国的受邀演讲者(5)和研究生(5)提供了旅费支持，以参加2017年6月17日至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“单细胞生物物理学：测量，调制和建模”。演讲者（总共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，并根据在生物物理学会通讯上发布的邀请提交的摘要获得旅行奖。台湾地区也将选出五名学生获奖。会议的重点是生物物理学的一个重大挑战：如何理解单细胞的复杂性，它在时间和空间上是多尺度的。会议将工程师和科学家聚集在一起，讨论单细胞生物物理学领域的实验、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反应，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。会议为来自美国的与会者提供了一个独特的机会，与来自欧洲（如瑞典、西班牙、瑞士和英国）和亚洲（如台湾、中国、韩国、日本和新加坡）的与会者进行互动。这次研讨会的结果将以报告的形式发表在生物物理学会的通讯上，并在其网站上提供。

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.
