Biomolecular Feedback Control
BioControl Journal Club
Biocontrol Journal Club
Connecting mathematical theories, models, and biomolecular experiments
The Biocontrol Journal Club is an organization of graduate students, postdocs, and PIs focused on applications of mathematical modeling and control systems to biology. We host monthly talks featuring our members and invited guests (see schedule below). We also have a dedicated Slack workspace, a mailing list, and a Youtube channel with recorded talks. If you have any questions or would like to propose a talk, email us at 'christiane_cubasamaniego' at 'dfci.harvard.edu'!
Our Missions:
-
Connect community and facilitate collaboration
-
Foster career development in academia and industry
-
Build a platform to share research output
-
Bridge the gap between theory and experiment
