The 2015 Annual
Meeting program
highlights
computational
advances, scientific
discoveries,
methodological
breakthroughs, and
emerging
technologies in the
many diverse areas of
biophysics.
In particular, our
program naturally
celebrates the 2015
UN International
Year of Light with
symposia showing
spectacular advances
in imaging spanning
molecular and cellular
length scales.
