Molecular Biophysics

The MolBioPhys group provides an informal environment for the discussion of molecular biophysics research, techniques, reagents and data analysis. We meet the third Friday of each month from 4-5:30pm during the academic semesters. The group is co-organized by Josh Ziarek (jjziarek@indiana.edu) and Megan Thielges (thielges@indiana.edu).
