Online

In celebration of our recent name change, the theme for this year is “Frontiers at the Intersection of the Life & Quantitative Sciences.” Anyone with an interest in life sciences or quantitative sciences is invited to attend. The Fall Conference will feature excellent science presentations from invited guest speakers, OSU faculty, students and staff. 

Because this is our first conference since our name change (and because the event is fully online this year) the conference this year is completely free for all attendees.

The poster session will be held online on Friday, September 17. More details of the format and time will be provided soon. Posters are welcome from all participants. Posters from registered undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows/trainees will be eligible for one of three cash awards, and there will be one award for lighting talks. 

DEADLINES
  • Lightning Talk Registration: September 10
  • Poster Registration: September 15
  • Conference Registration: September 15
Thank you to our 2021 Fall Conference Committee

Hello,

We are pleased to announce the 2021 Center for Quantitative Life Sciences (CQLS) Fall Conference.  This will be a full day online event on Friday, September 17, 2021 (apologies for those who did not receive a notice about this previously. There was an issue with the list serve).  In celebration of our recent name change, the theme for this year is “Frontiers at the Intersection of the Life & Quantitative Sciences.” Because this is our first conference since our name change (and because the event is fully online this year) the conference this year is completely free for all attendees. We hope you will join us.

We strongly encourage all participants to submit a poster for the online poster session. Registered posters will be judged for cash prizes in three categories; Undergraduate Student, Graduate Student, and Post-Doctoral Fellow/Trainee. Since the event is online, a physical poster does not need to be printed. Rather, you will need to submit in advance a high-quality pdf and a stable internet connection. Lightning Talks will be limited to 5 minutes and no more than 5 slides.  Registered lighting talks will also be eligible for a cash prize.

Register in Advance
