Summer Course

In early May, the Society welcomed an excellent cohort of students from as far away as California and as near as Durham, NC, to UNC-Chapel Hill for the 8 th Annual Biophysical Society Sum- mer Research Program at UNC-Chapel Hill. The 13 students participating in the program will face new challenges in the lab and classroom, develop professional skills associated with gradu- ate education, and, hopefully, have fun during the eleven-week program. The students, pictured at left, have matched with labs in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, Biology, Pharmacy, and Pharmacology.
