Dear colleagues I am writing to ask you to encourage your senior undergraduate students to consider and apply to the Biophysics Program <http://www.marylandbiophysics.umd.edu/> at the University of Maryland College Park (UMD) <https://www.umd.edu/>. The admission deadline is *Thursday, January 3, 2019*. The unique aspect of this cutting-edge program is bringing together faculty from different disciplines, such as Biology, Physics, Biochemistry, Mathematics, Bioengineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, to train aspiring trans-disciplinary future researchers. Furthermore, the program has a broad range of research activities and close connections to nearby national laboratories, including the National Institute of Health <https://www.nih.gov/>(NIH) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology <https://www.nist.gov/> (NIST). Thus, students have a tremendous chance to conduct research in UMD laboratories and/or in state of the arts NIH laboratories. We are seeking students with any background in science or en gineering, who have a desire to work at the interface of several disciplines and share our enthusiasm in tackling the next generation of problems in the complex world of biology and biomedical science. Our curriculum is flexible and tailored to each student's background and research interests. For more information on the Biophysics program at UMD, please visit the program website <http://www.marylandbiophysics.umd.edu/>. A program flyer can be found here <https://twitter.com/tiwarylab/status/1010214058597941248>, which you may send to your students and other faculty members, who might be interested in the Maryland Biophysics Program.
