Q-Bio Summer School and Conference
Dear Student:
We are excited to announce that the 15th Annual International q-bio Conference (June 15-17) and 2nd annual UQ-bio Summer School (June 1-15) will be held in person on the beautiful Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.
The q-bio Conference and UQ-Bio Summer School at CSU will provide an intimate and enthusiastic venue to bring together diverse trainees and established researchers with the common goal to advance predictive modeling and theoretical understanding of cellular and molecular biological systems, and in coordination with quantitative experimentation. The focus of the 2022 will be learning about biological control mechanisms through modeling and analysis of single-cell data.
It has been three years since the last in-person meeting for the Annual q-bio Conference (2019 Program at UCSF), and longer still since both the conference and the summer school were organized in the same location. Moreover, Northern Colorado is especially lovely in June and with close access to fantastic options for mountain adventures. We expect this year’s program to generate lively discussions, help nucleate new collaborations, and rekindle those collaborative relationships that brought us all to this interdisciplinary field in the first place.
UQ Summer School tuition (*INCLUDING 17 nights lodging and all meals*) will be *FREE* for all accepted undergraduate students and $500 for graduate students (waivers available). UQ-Bio Summer School applications are now open at: https://forms.gle/2yArft9sNX5hBf4d9 (due March 15 for early consideration).
Subsidized rates for q-bio Conference registration and lodgings will be available soon and are expected to be about $500, INCLUDING registration, lodging, and banquet. q-bio Conference Abstract submission will begin soon (due April 1 for full consideration for contributed talks; Docx and LaTeX templates available at https://q-bio.org/wp/call-for-abstracts/).
There is no cost to apply to apply for either program, and a virtual participation option is available for both programs (registration required).
More information, including the current list of organizers and program descriptions, is available at https://q-bio.org.
We look forward to seeing you here in Fort Collins this summer!
With best regards,
Brian Munsky, on behalf of the 2022 q-bio Program Committee:
