Bridging Research and Teaching Workshop 2008
Innovation at the Crossroads of Chemistry, Physics and Biology
June 18-21, 2008
Faculty from colleges and universities are invited to participate in a summer workshop hosted by the Division with a particular field of interest highlighted each year.
The objectives of the workshop are to:
 Observe how the physics of the nucleus becomes magnetic resonance imaging
- Learn how to computationally model molecules for teaching
- Build relationships among research and teaching institutions
- Encourage you to have outstanding undergraduates apply to Washington University for Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. training
Our goal is to attract 20-25 participants whose primary responsibility is teaching biological sciences, chemistry, mathematics or computer science at a U.S. college or university. Participation by minority and women faculty is especially encouraged. A diverse group of participants will provide a variety of educational perspectives and networking opportunities. Applicants who are willing to share research reports from their own laboratories are especially welcome.
This year’s program will include presentations devoted to:
- Imaging human metabolic systems in real time
- Gene regulation by RNAs: a new paradigm
- Ion channels and cardiac disease
- The molecular basis of amyloid disease.
Registration is free. Transportation, housing, meals and evening entertainment will be covered for selected participants. Additional information about the workshop can be obtained by contacting:
