Register by April 28, 2024!
The NIH T32-sponsored Molecular Biophysics Training Program will hold its seventh annual symposium from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Monday, May 13. The symposium will be all in person on the first floor of CBEC, 151 W. Woodruff Ave, and Physics Research Building, next door to CBEC. Please register to join us. Registration is free and is open to students, faculty and staff in any program. We use registrations to manage abstracts, select talks, assign judges, and keep track of trainee, trainer, and community engagement for the grant renewal. Please register!
