Student Spotlight Ani Nichol

Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, New Mexico State University As you move forward in science, what type of research do you see yourself doing? Why? After finishing my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, I hope to conduct research about osteopathic manipula- tive techniques and their effects on the immune system at a cellular level. I am excited to continue my education and hope to help establish a stronger scientific foundation for osteopathic manipulative treatment research.

The Biophysical Society committees are essential to the implementation of the Society’s stated purpose to lead development and dissemination of knowledge in biophysics. Society members who wish to be considered for a committee appointment are encouraged to submit a volunteer form, which can be found at https:/www.surveymonkey.com/r/ 2019CommitteeVolunteers. Individuals who submit volunteer forms prior to October 1, 2018, and have paid their 2019 membership by January 2019 will be notified of their appointments by mid-March 2019.
