Add to Calendar 2025-07-11T08:00:00 2025-07-11T17:00:00 CONFERENCE: Frontiers in Biophysics (FiB) Event Information: About: Frontiers in Biophysics (FiB) is a unique, student-organized conference in the Pacific Northwest that brings together cross-disciplinary researchers from biophysics, applied math, systems biology, mathematical biology, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, molecular biology and many others. With a focus on fostering connections, this conference provides an intimate and highly interactive setting where early-career scientists—graduate students and undergraduates in particular—have a valuable opportunity to engage with leading experts in the field and representatives from industry.  The conference proceedings will feature a variety of talks and posters from students and postdoctoral fellows and culminate in a Keynote presentation.   Keynote Speaker:   Dr. Polly FordyceAssistant Professor in the Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering, Standford University Dr. Polly Fordyce is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering and Genetics and a fellow of the ChEM-H Institute at Stanford University. Her pioneering work in biophysics integrates microfluidics, single-molecule analysis, and genomics to develop high-throughput screening methods for analysis of molecular interactions. Her work has significantly advanced our understanding of protein-DNA interactions, enzyme kinetics, and single-cell genomics. Dr. Fordyce holds numerous patents for her innovations, and her contributions have been recognized with prestigious awards such as the NIH New Innovator and Pioneer Awards, the Eli Lilly Award in Biological Chemistry, and the Young Investigator Award from the Protein Society.    Event Location: Hennings Building (UBC Vancouver Campus): 6224 Agricultural Road
