Megan Scoppa (standing), an undergraduate research assistant in Cheung's group, gave a lecture of "Introductory Molecular Biology" to high school students and teachers in the workshop of “High Performance Computing for Molecular Biology”. |
20 high school students work on a collaborative research project, “Watching a protein move at a nano scale” using computer simulations. Students reported their results on the whiteboard. |
Graduate students Qian and Antonios in Cheung's group jointly gave a lecture of "From physics rules to biological systems". They explained how the motion of a protein obeys basic physical forces and rules. |
