Chemical Biophysics is an emerging interdisciplinary field bridging the physical sciences and biology. The past two meetings were overwhelmingly successful in bringing together a diverse set of researchers and stimulating the exchange of ideas in an informal environment, and this year will build upon that success. The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Toronto, with inexpensive rooms available in nearby hotels at special rates. Toronto is an exciting, diverse city with many attractions, ranging from excellent museums to fine dining. Since Toronto is the largest urban centre in Canada, travel to and from the city is easy and relatively inexpensive. The costs of the meeting are minimal (Students/Post-docs: $75-$85 (credit card) and all others $135-$145 in Canadian dollars), and will cover registration as well as several meals (see the web page for more details). A number of outstanding researchers have agreed to speak at the Chemical Biophysics Symposium, including: Robert Blankenship, ASU Chris McKay, NASA-Ames David Weitz, Harvard Benoit Roux, Cornell Medical Steve Ferguson, UWO Terry Beveridge, Guelph Michelle Wang, Cornell The bulk of the meeting will consist of oral presentations and posters selected from submitted abstracts. In order to keep the meeting informal, the number of attendees will be limited to 150 researchers, also selected on the basis of submitted abstracts. We strongly encourage you and any interested colleagues to visit the conference web page, submit an abstract, and attend the third of what we hope will be many meetings devoted to growing field at the interface between the physical and biological sciences. Abstract submission deadline: February 7, 2004 Early registration deadline: January 15, 2004 (rates increase by C$60 after this date) For additional information about the meeting, travel, and accommodations, please consult the conference web page: http://www.chembiophys.ca We hope to see you there! Please forward this message to any interested colleagues.
