2021 MiBio/iBGS Symposium
April 12, 2021
Hello all! (Posted on 4-05-2021)
The 2nd annual MiBio/iBGS symposium – Branching Out: the Untapped World of Biological Systems will be held virtually next Monday, April 12, 2021 via the Whova platform.
REGISTRATION – NEW DEADLINE!
To accommodate enough time for registrants to learn and create accounts on the Whova app platform for symposium access, we have decided to move the registration deadline a couple days earlier (April 7th) than the original date (April 9th). Thus, we strongly encourage you to register ASAP to address any questions or concerns that may come up.
This symposium is open to all. Please note that registration is REQUIRED to receive all important instructions on virtual access. NOTE: If you have already submitted an abstract, you will still need to register.
The NEW registration deadline is Wednesday, April 7, 2021 (closes at 11:59PM).

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The annual MiBio/iBGS symposium is going virtual (via Whova) this year with a mission is to feature a diverse set of topics to display the importance of multidisciplinary research that highlight novel or unique approaches. We have an incredible lineup of faculty speakers (listed below), including keynote speaker Dr. Michelle Wang from Cornell University, as well as talented post-docs and graduate students (see attached for program).
INVITED FACULTY SPEAKER LINEUP
Keynote speaker: Michelle Wang, Ph.D (Cornell University; optical trapping, DNA mechanics)
Talk title: “DNA Mechanics in Fundamental Processes”
Masa Onishi, Ph.D (Duke University; cell division in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii)
Rick Baker, Ph.D (UNC-Chapel Hill; cryo EM, membrane trafficking)
Emily Hatch, Ph.D (Fred Hutch; live cell imaging, nuclear envelope biology)
Erin Goley, Ph.D (Johns Hopkins University; cell growth and adaptation in Caulobacter crescentus)
MiBio (“Mechanistic, interdisciplinary studies of Biological systems”, https://www.med.unc.edu/mibio/) and iBGS (“Integrative Program for Biological & Genome Sciences”, https://ibgs.web.unc.edu) are training programs at UNC-Chapel Hill that both emphasize investigations of the molecular mechanisms that dictate biological processes. These programs support trainees in Biology, Biochemistry & Biophysics, Genetics & Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and more!
Thank you in advance for your participation! We look forward to seeing you there!
