The Tenth q-bio Summer School - New Mexico
July 10-23, 2016 Schedule Projects Faculty Students Focus Areas Software
The q-bio Summer School began in 2007 in Los Alamos, moved to Santa Fe, and then moved again to Albuquerque. Along the way, two new campuses were launched, first in San Diego and then in Fort Collins. In 2016, the program of the New Mexico campus will emphasize the following topical areas: cell signaling, membrane biology and viral dynamics. A series of lectures and labs will be devoted to each of these areas; however, lectures will cover other, diverse topics. Students will attend two core lectures each morning and participate in computer labs in the afternoon. Afternoons will include student talks. All students will participate in small team projects under the mentorship of the school faculty.
After participating in the school, students are strongly encouraged to attend the Tenth Annual q-bio Conference (July 27-30, 2016, Nashville, TN, USA) and the preceding q-bio Student Symposium (July 25 and 26, 2016, Nashville, TN, USA).
