2025 Biophysics Colloquium

We are pleased to invite you to the 2025 Biophysics Colloquium! This year, the colloquium will be on Monday, September 29th, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery in the DeLuca Forum. Presenters will be a combination of faculty trainers and current Biophysics students. Registration is open to students and trainers in the Biophysics program. We would also like to invite non-biophysics faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and scientists in the biophysics trainer labs to join (if space allows).
