The CPB launched a new network to help support early career researchers at the University of Cambridge interested in interdisciplinary research working at the intersection between biological/biomedical sciences and physical sciences.
So, if you are using single molecule and super-resolution microscopy, single-cell profiling, in vivo live-imaging, microfluidics and biophysical approaches, or statistical, computational and theoretical modelling-based methods….. You should join!
(We welcome advanced PhD students, postdocs, and other researchers at the early stages of their career)
The network meets once a month in different venues across the campus mostly during lunch time. During these informal sessions you can expect one or more chalk talks, which should be accessible for researchers from diverse backgrounds while at the same time inspiring a lively discussion that might help you find new solutions, 'served' with a slice of pizza!
