The Biophysics Program invites you to the Robert Ross lecture next Thursday at 1:30pm

[Ralf Bundschuh]

Dear Physicists,

It is time for the Biophysics program's annual Robert Ross lecture 
again.  We would like to invite you next

*Thursday, April 26, 1:30-3 in 170 Davis Heart&Lung Research Institute*

for a presentation by *Wesley Wong* from *Harvard University* on

*Single Molecule Approaches in Mechanobiology:**
* *From DNA Nanoswitches to the Centrifuge Force Microscope*

We will also honor this year's Elizabeth Gross award and outstanding 
academic achievement award winners.

Graduate students (from all programs) will have the opportunity to meet 
with the speaker after the talk 3-4pm in 159 DHLRI (snacks provided).

Please feel free to bring everybody in your lab to this main event of 
the Biophysics program's academic year.

    Yours
              Ralf

    Biophysics Seminar day - Robert Ross Lecture - 4/26/2018 -
    1:30pm-3:00pm - 170 Davis Heart and Lung Institute

*1:30-3:00 Single Molecule Approaches in Mechanobiology: From DNA 
Nanoswitches to the Centrifuge Force Microscope*
*Wesley Wong*, Harvard University

Mechanical force plays a critical role in regulating many aspects of 
biological function and structure, particularly at the nanoscale. My 
research group develops and applies methods in single-molecule 
manipulation to understand the forcedependent dynamics of biological 
interactions. I will present some methods that we are developing, 
including massively parallel single-molecule force measurements using 
centrifugal force, and nanoscale devices built using DNA origami, and 
demonstrate how these approaches can bring new insights into biological 
processes ranging from blood clotting to hearing.
