Due to concerns about COVID-19 and out of an abundance of caution, CBP Seminars scheduled for March and April are cancelled.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resuming our Seminar Series in Fall 2020!
The Biological Physics Seminar is a multidisciplinary seminar series with broadly defined topics. They include biological and soft matter physics, biophysics, structural and computational biology with equal emphasis on experimental and theoretical and computational approaches.The Biological Physics Seminar is organized by the Center for Biological Physics and co-sponsored by the Department of Physics and the Center for Applied Structural Discovery (CASD).
If you have any questions regarding the seminar please contact
- Oliver Beckstein, Seminar Organizer
- Sarah Johnson, Seminar Coordinator

(Note that if you have not used the ASU mailing list server before, you will first need to "get a new LISTSERV password", i.e., create a LISTSERV account, which is different from, e.g., your ASU account. Following the blue subscribe button will offer you an opportunity to do so.)
The Biological Physics Seminar is held every Wednesday during the academic school year. The seminar is held from 12:00 noon - 1:00 pm in GWC 487. Light refreshments are served at every seminar.
