fluid under physiological conditions. In this tutorial, Bruker will present theories behind AFM, bio-applications in high-speed AFM, and practical guides to quantitative mechanical measurements and analysis of biologi- cal samples ranging from a single membrane protein to a single cell. While the key experiments presented will encompass research in micro- biology/pain mediation/cancer, the methodology has also been employed in other disciplines including pathogenesis/stem cell differentiation/cell signaling and more. Presenter: Senli Guo, Application Scientist, Bruker Nano Surfaces 4:00 pm –5:00 pm , R oom 122 Membership Committee Meeting 4:00 pm –5:00 pm , R oom 300 Career Center Workshop Ten Tough Industrial Interview Questions (and Ten Pretty Good Responses) You’ve been invited to interview with that drug development company that you’ve always wanted to work for. You’ve soaked up the details of the position description. You are confident in your ability to do the job, as well as answer any/all technical questions during the interview process. The day is yours…until…that first question catches you by surprise and your confidence begins to wilt. Be prepared for those non-technical ques- tions that you will almost certainly hear at some point, know why they are asked, and learn what a good (if not great) response to each question might be by attending this workshop. 4:00 pm –6:00 pm , R oom 134 Symposium Future of Biophysics Burroughs Wellcome Fund Symposium Chair Robert Nakamoto, University of Virginia Health Science Center N o A bstract 4:00 pm “OFF-LABEL” USES OF SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGY TO EXPLORE THE PHYSICAL GENOME.
