The Pittsburgh Biophysical Theory Club  
 

The club attempts to bring together quantitative scientists interested in biology -- whether from chemistry, physics, computer science, or engineering backgrounds.  We encourage members of the community, particularly postdocs and students in consultation with their mentors, to volunteer to speak.  The talks are an excellent way to get feedback from a friendly but perceptive audience.  Speakers from all local universities are welcome. Please contact Dan Zuckerman (ddmmzz@pitt.edu) if you are interested in presenting in this forum.
