Sindy has been invited as faculty for the summer course on Physiology: Modern Cell Biology Using Microscopic, Biochemical and Computational Approaches at the Marine Biology Lab in Summer 2014!
Quoting the course website: "The Physiology Course has a rich history, dating back to 1892, of training the leaders in biology and generating Nobel Prize experiments. However, this is not your grandfather�s Physiology Course! This intensive laboratory course has been revamped to meet the new challenges in biology by providing a unique interdisciplinary training environment at the interface between cellular and computational biology. The Physiology Course will bring together biological and physical/computational scientists, both in the faculty and the student body, to work together on cutting-edge problems in cell physiology."
