CBC Graduate Student Traveler: Ananya Chakraborti
CBC Graduate Student Ananya Chakraborti recently had the opportunity to attend a Biophysical Society meeting in the United Kingdom.
The conference name was, "Towards a Perfect Union: Multi-scale Models of Muscle and their Experimental Validation." It was a Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting held at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK from July 17 - 20. It was a meeting highlighting the recent developments in the research being done in the world of muscles, both cardiac and skeletal, in terms of computational as well as experimental fields.
My advisor Dr. Steve Schwartz was also one of the Keynote speakers at the meeting. I presented two posters on the ongoing projects on cardiac drug Mavacamten and using Neural Networks to detect pathogenicity of genetic heart diseases.
I visited some really beautiful places, such as the Canterbury Cathedral. As we know, Canterbury is famous for the Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales."
