The MBI Young Scientists Group is excited to announce that the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is organizing the Mechanobiology Institute Young Scientist Symposium (MBIYSS) 2020. Organized by The MBI Young Scientist Group, this symposium is in conjunction with MBI’s upcoming conference: The Mechanobiology of Morphogenesis. The theme for the MBIYSS 2020 is “Mechanics in Growth and Development.
The symposium will be held on October 27, 2020 (Tuesday), and will be completely online in view of the ongoing travel restrictions. It will feature talks by young scientists about their research on cell differentiation, cell migration and proliferation in organogenesis, novel techniques to study development, regeneration, and mechanotransduction. In addition to long (15 min) and short (7 min) talks, we will also have a three-minute-thesis (3MT) contest, with awards for each category. This will be followed by an informal interaction session, giving participants an opportunity for discussion and networking.
Registration for the symposium is currently open and is FREE. We welcome abstract submissions for talks from current graduate students, postdoctoral fellows or research staff from around the world, working in Mechanobiology and related fields (submit your abstract here). The deadline for abstract submission is October 7, 2020. Participants who are interested in only attending the symposium can register here by October 25, 2020.
